brief answer on herpetological diversity of Maharashtra? or suggest any book
Hello student,
I hope you are doing well.
As we all realize that herpetological variety is predominantly done to spare our reptile faunal diversity, reptiles are one of the main animals of the collective of animals and developmentally connected among creatures of land and water and fowls. They additionally assume a significant part in the natural way of life as a hunter and prey for different creatures (fowls). They are an insatiable feeder of creepy crawly bugs and other little vertebrates (Rodents) and keep the number of inhabitants in bug bugs and no bug bothers under check and equilibrium nature. The reptiles are including crocodiles, gators, skinks, reptiles, snakes, pythons and turtles live in the differed natural surroundings The Vidarbha area arranged biogeographically as the Central Deccan Plateau and covers the regions of Amravati, Washim, and Yavatmal. Geologically, the locale is level undulating landscape, without any significant slope ranges. The Satpura Range misleads the North of Vidarbha. The Melghat slopes of Amravati locale structure the southern branch of the Satpura Range. The district has three primary seasons: the wet storm and post-rainstorm season from June to October, the cool dry winter from October to March and the hot dry season from April till the beginning of downpours toward the start of June. The woods types found around there are named sub-tropical slope timberlands, tropical soggy deciduous woodlands, and tropical dry deciduous backwoods. The Reptile fauna of 'Vidarbha' was explored during the year March 2002 to December 2013. Arbitrary reviews were done in all timberland zones just as metropolitan regions of Vidarbha. A sum of 68 types of reptiles having a place with 16 families were recorded. Most reptiles recorded have a place with the family Colubridae, trailed by Geckonidae, Scincidae. Three species were recorded from Boidae and Agamidae. Two species were recorded from Lacertidae and Typhlopidae. One animal types was recorded from family Varanidae, Eublepharidae, Chameleonidae and Pythoniade. The significant record of, Geckoella nebulosus, Ophisops become, coleognathus helena monticollaris, Antretium schistosum, Corronella branchyuria. As of late it has been seen that the populaces of reptiles are declining because of various reasons, for example, decimation of woodland zones, natural surroundings misfortune, illicit exchanges for skins and tissue, poaching, anthropogenic weight and roadkill by hefty traffic further adds to this misfortune. It is expected to spare our reptile faunal variety by taking all the conceivable assurance measures.
I hope this useful.
Hii,
Herpetology is the branch of zoology concerned with the study of amphibians and reptiles.
Birds, which are cladistically included within Reptilia, are traditionally excluded here; the scientific study of birds is the subject of ornithology
In a list of 34 species of amphibians from Maharashtra State
In the present investigation 3 species of Tortoises, 14 species of Lizards and 29 species of Snakes were recorded.
The diversity of Snakes apparently appears to be fairly rich in the park. Agrawal (1981) recorded 8 species of reptiles from M.P.
