“…Most of these studies focused on forest ecosystems in the protected area network. Understanding the pattern of distribution of birds and their drivers in highly disturbed ecosystems outside the protected area network is less attempted (Garcia et al 2010;Anand et al 2010;Chandran & Vishnudas 2018;Variar et al 2021).…”

Bharathapuzha, the second largest west-flowing river in the Western Ghats, originates from the northern and southern parts of the Palghat gap and debouches into the Arabian Sea at Ponnani. This river is exposed to high levels of anthropogenic pressures. This study looks into avifaunal assemblage patterns and the factors influencing the structure of bird communities in different ecological zones of the Bharathapuzha River Basin. The syntropic birds and flocking birds contribute variations in the bird community assemblage in the river basin. For the water-dependent and water-associated birds, mudflats, water flow, riverside vegetation, and distance from the forest were found to be the influencing factors in the migratory season. The study also emphasized the importance of protecting these river-associated habitats for the conservation of birds.
