Sites<br />

Chotiari Reservoir Keti Shah<br />

The higher value of Simpson’s index in above table and graph clearly spell out<br />

that bird species are evenly distributed at Keti Shah, Pai Forest and Keti Bunder.<br />

However, Keenjhar Lake’s comparatively lower value implies dominance of fewer<br />

bird species at that lake. The sites can be arranged on a scale of species<br />

evenness in descending order as:<br />

Shah Belo and Pai Forest > Keti Bunder > Chotiari Wetlands Complex ><br />

Keenjhar lake<br />

4.4.3.3 Summer and winter<br />

The following table and figures compare the biodiversity index, similarity and<br />

Simpson’s index over the sites and over the season.<br />

Table 48 and Figure 39 show the biodiversity index over site and season<br />
