Shannon diversity index
Shannon eveness
There was more diversity of medium and large mammals in winter than summer
across the four sites. There may be several reasons for this such as mammals
were more active in winter foraging for food or were more detectable due to less
vegetation on the ground.
4.1.7 Population Estimations
Populations of 14 different large mammals were estimated that included eight
from Pai forest, four from Chotiari, three from Keenjhar one from Keti Bunder and
two from Keti Shah. Estimated populations are given in the Table 35 and 36.
