was the common myna followed by the red-breasted parakeet. Habitat types like plantations and encroached areas within the forests were also surveyed. Thirty six species were reported from plantation (annexure 31) and 27 from encroached agriculture fallow habitat (annexure 32). Bird density Comprehensive lists of bird species, with their densities, recorded from dry deciduous miscellaneous forest, moist deciduous miscellaneous forest, evergreen forest, riverine habitat, sal forest, scrub forest, plantation and encroached agriculture fallow habitat under BTC Territorial Forest Divisions are given in annexures 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31 and 32 respectively. Statistically significant variations (x 2 7 = 16.86, p = 0.02, Kruskal-Wallis) in bird densities were observed among these habitats. Bird densities were higher in dry deciduous miscellaneous forest (467.45 mean ± 108.96 Table 24 Distribution of various species of woodpeckers across forest types in the study area. Bringing Back Manas SE) as compared to encroached agriculture fallow habitat (386.17 mean ± 93.83 SE), evergreen forest (302.13 mean ± 44.0 SE), sal forest (276.01 mean ± 37.79 SE), scrub (262.55 mean ± 32.16 SE) and riverine habitat (237.58 mean ± 44.04 SE). Surprisingly, lower densities of birds were recorded from moist deciduous miscellaneous forest (211.9 mean ± 34.38 SE) than plantation (233.54 mean ± 47.98 SE). Although the bird richness lists did not asymptote in most cases, the survey does reflect a bird distribution trend and we believe that the lists may not have been dramatically different from the present ones. Bird densities showed variations between various forest types and this is expected because of the difference in the vegetation composition of each forest type. Thus we found more hornbills in riverine forests and more barbets in the evergreen forest type. 73
Bird diversity Mean species richness, equities and diversities in dry deciduous miscellaneous forest, moist deciduous miscellaneous forest, evergreen forest, sal forest, scrub forest, riverine habitat, plantations and encroached agriculture fallow habitat are given in Table 22. The most important groups in terms of species richness were Charadridae, Columbidae, Capitonidae, Picidae, Muscicapidae, Nectarinidae and Ploceidae. The species effort curves (appendix 28) revealed that the present species detection efforts are inadequate and more such efforts are required in each habitat as most of the curves are tending upwards. Kruskal-Wallis test revealed that species richness (x 2 7 = 10.91, p = 0.14), equities (x 2 7 = 7.19, p = 0.41) and diversities (x 2 7 = 10.37, p = 0.17) did not show statistically significant variations in dry deciduous miscellaneous forest, moist deciduous miscellaneous forest, evergreen forest, sal forest, scrub forest, riverine habitat, plantation and encroached agriculture fallow habitat. A perusal of table 24 revealed that species richness and diversity were higher in encroached agriculture fallow habitats as compared to others. This could have been a result of low sample sizes in agriculture fallows and plantations. However, more equitable distribution of species was observed in scrub forest, evergreen forest and riverine habitats as compared to dry deciduous miscellaneous forest, moist deciduous miscellaneous forest, sal forest and plantation. Distribution of flagship species Although very few threatened species were seen during this survey and the distribution was largely Table 25 List of mammal species seen with their encounter rates in the BTC forests NB: *denotes indirect sightings of species Axis axis Histrix indica Panthera tigris 74 Bringing Back Manas
