Presence of human settlements in most protected areas has forced tigers (Panthera tigris) to share space with humans. Creation of inviolate space for tigers in areas with high human densities is often daunting
and requires hard political sacrifices. We conducted this study from 2004 to 2007 in the Chilla range of Rajaji National Park,
along the northwestern portion of the Terai-Arc Landscape in the Indian subcontinent. Our objective was to document the recovery
of prey and tiger populations following the resettlement of 193 gujjar (pastoralists with large buffalo holdings) families. We used distance sampling to estimate density of wild ungulate prey
and camera traps to estimate tiger density. The study area supported ∼66 ungulates/km2, with chital (Axis axis) and sambar (Cervus unicolor) contributing >91%. While prey densities did not vary across 3 years, an increase in proportion of chital fawns was observed
following the near complete removal of livestock. We also documented an increase in the density of tigers (from three to five tigers per 100 km2), probably due to immigrating tigers from nearby Corbett Tiger Reserve. A high turnover of individual tigers was observed
during the study. With photographic evidence of breeding tigers in Chilla range, we believe that this area could serve as
a source population from where tigers can colonize adjoining forests across River Ganga. It is therefore concluded that securing
the connectivity between forests on the east and west bank of Ganga through the tenuous Chilla-Motichur corridor assumes significance
for long-term persistence of tigers within this landscape. 相似文献

Ten polymorphic microsatellite loci were isolated and characterized from Chital deer (Cervus axis). These loci show high levels of allelic diversity with four to eight alleles per locus in the 22 individuals of the free‐ranging population of Chital deer in Nehru Zoological Park, Hyderabad. In addition, we found that all the loci show cross–amplification in closely related as well as distantly related deer species. The amplification of these markers in different genera further indicates that these can be applied to a wide range of endangered deer species for their population genetics studies and conservation management. 相似文献

Species co-exist in their individual niches by partitioning resources. The main prey of the big predators – wild boar, chital, and sambar are sympatric in tropical south-Asia. In order to obtain a better understanding of their habitat use and habitat niche relationships, we used an indirect sign (faecal pellets and rooting by wild boar) survey along line transects in Bardia National Park. Ground cover, in particular grass cover for wild boar and chital, and shrub cover for chital and sambar positively affected the occurrence of ungulate signs. We found a niche differentiation between wild boar, which preferred hill sal forest and grassland, and chital and sambar, which avoided hill sal forest and grassland. Habitat niche overlap between chital and sambar in open habitat was clearly evident during the dry season. It is suggested that the fine grained habitat mosaics in space are the underlying causes of the coexistence of the ungulates studied. Therefore, focus on maintaining the habitat mosaic throughout the regions of the species’ distribution may prove successful for effective conservation management. 相似文献
