The study reports some observations on reproductive biology of mouse deer (Moschiola indica) maintained under the conservation breeding programme at the Nehru Zoological Park, Hyderabad. The conservation breeding programme was initiated with 6 individuals that bred in captivity reaching a total of 36 individuals within a three-year period. A total of 50 oestrus episodes were recorded from 11 females that resulted in 31 births. Females first gave birth at age of 304 days (mean = 318.6 ± 15.3 days, n = 5) and had an average gestation period of 154.1 ± 3.7 days. Females showed post-partum oestrus within 6 h of fawning, which resulted in successful mating. The present observations would help in enhancing knowledge on biology and behaviour of the species that can form the basis for its effective management.Keywords

Habitat fragmentation is known to alter species composition, influence infection risk and disease emergence in the native species of fragmented landscapes. This study aimed at understanding the prevalence of gastrointestinal parasite in Nilgiri langur, an endemic primate species of the Western Ghats, India. We collected 283 faecal samples from 8 rainforest fragments of Anamalai Hills, Western Ghats and examined gastrointestinal parasites using faecal flotation and sedimentation techniques. A total of 13 gastrointestinal parasite taxa were recovered, which are known to infect humans and livestock. Parasite species richness was higher in disturbed forest fragments than undisturbed ones. We found Trichuris trichiura to be the most prevalent parasite taxa followed by Strongyloides sp. A negative association between Schistosoma sp. and Trichuris trichiura was also observed. Fragment size, proximity to human settlements and other habitat variables such as tree density, canopy cover and tree height did not show any significant relationship with parasitism in Nilgiri langur, which might be attributed to their ability to survive in a disturbed landscape.Keywords

Livestock grazing in protected areas is known to affect wild species. In this study, we examined fecal Glucocorticoid Metabolite Concentration (fGCM) and gastrointestinal parasite prevalence in blue sheep populations of Spiti valley, Himalayas. We collected 156 fecal samples of blue sheep from areas under intense livestock grazing and areas without small livestock during 2014-15. We also collected 27 fecal samples from livestock to examine parasite prevalence. We found that blue sheep in livestock-grazed areas had higher fGCM than non-grazed areas. Similarly, parasite prevalence was higher in areas with presence of cattle. Overall, adult females were more affected by disturbance and grazing compared to males and young ones. This is the first study to document the physiological stress response of wild ungulates to livestock grazing in Indian sub-continent. We suggest management recommendations to set aside pastures for exclusive use by wild blue sheep, regularly deworm livestock, and decrease the stray dog populationKeywords
