Biodiversity, Birds and Wetlands
The book “Biodiversity, Birds and Wetlands” focuses on biodiversity as a burgeoning spectrum of life. It highlights need of biodiversity conservation, causes and concerns, exploitation of biodiversity, habitat destruction, interaction of man and technology with biodiversity, policy framework for biodiversity conservation, and wilderness and forests. Moreover, it summarizes a review on birds with special emphasis on geographical and ecological distribution of avifauna of north-western India, birds in ancient times with myths and motifs, an integral association of trees and birds, birds migration, magnetic orientation of birds, and mythological beliefs about birds. The present book also co...
Ecology and Environment: A Research Paradigm
The book “Ecology and Environment: A Research Paradigm” is a compilation of author’s original research papers, scientific articles, review articles, popular articles, general articles, and short notes on forest ecology, wetland ecology, plant ecology, bird ecology, and animal ecology. The book is a perfect amalgamation of burgeoning and thrust topics spanning biodiversity, and conservation and management of floral and faunal elements including ecology and biodiversity of phytoplankton, zooplankton, aquatic macrophytes, mangroves, terrestrial plants, animals (butterflies, reptiles, and mammals) and birds. It covers ecological and environmental factors affecting abiotic and biotic compon...

Ecosystem Analysis of Two Tropical Community Reservoirs of India
Wetlands occur expansively all over the world in all the climatic zones and are appraised to harbour nearly 6.4% of the Earth’s surface, of which India domiciles about 18.4% of global wetlands and Gujarat 36% of country wetlands. As per Millennium Ecosystem Assessment (MEA), wetlands deliver 45% of the world’s natural productivity and ecosystem services of which the benefits are estimated at $20 trillion a year. Thus, wetlands exhibit enormous diversity according to their genesis, geographical location, water regime and chemistry, dominant plants and soil or sediment characteristics. Wetlands directly and indirectly support millions of people in providing services such as food, fibre and...
Ecosystem Analysis of Dry Tropical Forests - Udaipur and Bhilwara of Aravalli Hills
Forests are the most important reservoir of terrestrial biological diversity. Tropical forests are considered as the most diverse species richness in terrestrial ecosystems. The highest biodiversity generates a variety of resources, which helps to sustain the livelihood of local communities. They are different from all other terrestrial ecosystems with a very high diversity in species and life forms. However, most of the tropical forests are under high anthropogenic disturbances and require proper management practices to maintain sustainability and overall biodiversity. Tropical dry forests represent the major biome on the Earth. Generally, tropical dry forests are structure and floristicall...
Mangroves: Structure, Functions, Ecology and Biodiversity
Marine ecosystems are diverse habitats, endowed with physical, chemical, and geographical variations in the ecosystems, where the gradation from highly productive organisms to highly specialized organisms exists. India has almost 7,517 km long coast, of which 5,423 km belongs to the peninsular India, and around 2,094 km to the Andaman, Nicobar and Lakshadweep Islands. The mainland coast of India consists of 43% sandy beaches; 11% rocky coast including cliffs; and 46% mudflats or marshy coast. This massive coastline of India supports the human population tremendously through marine resources. Nearly 250 million people live within the fringe of 50 km from the coastline of India. Hence, a vital...
Biodiversity of Wetlands and Forests: A Nature Trail
The book “Biodiversity of Wetlands and Forests: A Nature Trail” focuses on biodiversity of wetlands and forests with special emphasis on field observations of plants, reptiles, birds and mammals recorded by the author in various geographical provinces of Gujarat, India. It highlights the need of biodiversity conservation, causes and concerns, exploitation of biodiversity, habitat destruction, interaction of man and technology with biodiversity, policy framework for biodiversity conservation, and wilderness and forests. Moreover, it summarizes a review on birds with special emphasis on geographical and ecological distribution of avifauna of north-western India, birds in ancient times with...
Applications of Nanomaterials: A Novel Approach for Pollution Abatement in Industries
The book “Applications of Nanomaterials: A Novel Approach for Pollution Abatement in Industries” highlights an in-depth research about applications of nanotechnology for dye decolouration and abatement of pollutants from industrial effluents and agriculture. The authors have emphasized the significance of synthesis of metallic nanoparticles and their applications in dye decolouration, biocidal activity, and pollution abatement. Wastewaters are producing gradually with rapid development in different type of industries such as textile, leather, pulp, and paper, printing, photographs, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, commerce, hospitals, and health-care services. The industry use water as a prin...
Wetland Monitoring: A Practical Approach towards Eutrophication
Wetlands occur expansively all over the world in all the climatic zones, exhibit enormous diversity according to their genesis, geographical location, water regime and chemistry, dominant plants and sediment characters; providing food, fiber and raw materials, storm and flood control, clean water supply, scenic beauty and educational and recreational benefits. Besides, biotic-abiotic components and human inhabitants, the subsistence of these unique natural resources is under intimidation due to developmental activities, population pressure and anthropogenic stress; calls for a long term planning for preservation and conservation of these resources. The present book “Wetland Monitoring: A P...
Monkeys: The Suburban Survivors
Primate societies are structured organizations with fairly clear social bonding that determine the patterns of interactions between different classes of individuals. Two important factors like kinship and dominance rank regulate the group cooperation and competition among individuals. Individual primates can occasionally alter their usual patterns of interactions, especially when the social or ecological environment makes such advantageous behavioral flexibility. Monkey is a common name that may refer to groups or species of mammals. The Hanuman Langur, Presbytis entellus, a member of Indian Colobinae is perhaps the most widely distributed of the non-human primates found in the Indian Subcon...
