Caught on Camera: Insights Into Mizoram's Mammalian Diversity Through a Camera-Trap-Based Distance Sampling Approach. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Mizoram's study revealed low ungulate densities and abundance, suggesting illegal hunting as a cause and entailing conservation urgency. ABSTRACT Assessing species distribution and associated threats is crucial for effective conservation. Many species including mammals face extinction due to habitat loss, hunting, and illegal trade, with their ...

Were late Gomphotheres (Plio-Pleistocene) of the Siwaliks at more Stress as compared to early Gomphotheres (middle to late Miocene)?

Journal of Bioresource Management, 2020
Gomphotheres existed in the Siwaliks from the middle Miocene (14.2Ma) to the middle Pleistocene (0.8Ma) and became extinct later on. In this paper, we tried to discuss the reasons of such extinction of gomphotheres in the lower Pleistocene time span by ...
