The present communication paper deals with some important medicinal plants used by tribal communities (Savara, Jatapu, Bagatas, Kondakapu, Kondadora, Mannedora, Valmiki and Kammara, etc.) to treat common veterinary diseases in northcoastal districts of Andhra Pradesh, India. For ethnoveterinary practices, 78 species representing 68 genera and belonging to 42 families were identified. The common veterinary diseases in this region are abortion, anthrax, anorexia, bloat, cold and cough, constipation, diarrhoea, dog bite, dysentery, ephemeral fever, eye problems, foot and mouth disease, fractures, horn cancer, mastitis, retained placenta, renderpest, skin diseases, snake bite and wounds etc.Keywords

The 'Lilliput effect' represents the phenomenon whereby there is a pronounced reduction in the size of biota associated with the aftermath of mass extinction. This fact has been supported by the evidence of dwarfism both in invertebrates and vertebrates recorded after the end-Permian mass extinction event. The extinct genus Glossopteris belonging to seed ferns Glossopteridales is one of the best known fossil taxon that flourished during the Permian and continued its existence till Triassic. In contrast to the Permian, the Triassic was a time when greenhouse conditions with an increased temperature and widespread aridity prevailed as evidenced by the global dataset. The new set of environmental conditions in the Triassic posed a major challenge for the existing Glossopteris lineage, whereby the smaller forms (dwarfs) with reduced leaf surface area continued and sustained. The present study from different late Permian and early Triassic formations of India is aimed at unravelling the changes in morphological traits of seven species of Glossopteris leaves whose existence continued surpassing the Permian-Triassic mass extinction event.Keywords
