Conservation of a fragmented population of blackbuck (Antilope cervicapra)
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Vallanadu Blackbuck Sanctuary (VBS), Tamil Nadu, India is a small protected area (PA) designated to conserve blackbuck. We did a study on habitat use and suitability in the PA that has come under various management interventions. The occupancy of blackbuck was positively correlated with areas lying within the PA, but the encounter rate of blackbuck was significantly higher in areas outside the PA. Being small in size, VBS may not hold a large population of blackbucks, but may help in saving the species which once widely occurred in the southernmost parts of India.

Tricholipeurus balanicus balanicus (Werneck, 1938) (Mallophaga, Trichodectidae) on blackbuck antelope (Antilope cervicapra L.) in Texas.
Blackbuck antelope are native to India and were introduced into the hill country ranches of Texas in the 1930’s. The population of these antelope in Texas increased from approximately 1,000 in 1955 to over 7,000 in 1980 with 80% being located in the Edwards Plateau (Mungalb, 1978, Kleberg Studies in Natural Resources, RMA/KS3, Texas A & M University System, College Station, Texas, 184 pp.).

متن کاملCrop Damage by Overabundant Populations of Nilgai and Blackbuck in Haryana (india) and Its Management
In India, as in other countries, problems associated with locally overabundant wildlife species have emerged as important management issues for reason of some species losing their natural habitat but adapting themselves to the manaltered habitats. Consequently, there is a clash with the interests of local people. Crop-raiding by locally overabundant wild populations of nilgai and blackbuck in H...
متن کاملRumen pH and hoof health in two groups of captive wild ruminants
The connection between a feeding regime with a high proportion of concentrates and laminitis is well recognized in domestic animal medicine but has received little attention in captive wild hoofstock. We used the occasion of a transport of two ruminant groups, that necessitated immobilization, for an evaluation of the appearance of the hooves on the one, and of the pH of the rumen fluid gained ...
متن کاملSequence-Based Appraisal of the Genes Encoding Neck and Carbohydrate Recognition Domain of Conglutinin in Blackbuck (Antilope cervicapra) and Goat (Capra hircus)
Conglutinin, a collagenous C-type lectin, acts as soluble pattern recognition receptor (PRR) in recognition of pathogens. In the present study, genes encoding neck and carbohydrate recognition domain (NCRD) of conglutinin in goat and blackbuck were amplified, cloned, and sequenced. The obtained 488 bp ORFs encoding NCRD were submitted to NCBI with accession numbers KC505182 and KC505183. Both n...
