FEEDING ECOLOGY OF AVIFAUNA IN SUB-TROPICAL AND TEMPERATE REGION OF MIDDLE HIMALAYAN CHAIN OF DODA, JAMMU AND KASHMIR
Journal Title: International Journal of Biological Innovations - Year 2020, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
Feeding ecology of birds was studied in subtropical and temperate region of Doda which lies in middle Himalayan chain of Pir Panchal range of Jammu and Kashmir, India. In the present study, a total 71 species of birds was documented from the study area belonging to 9 orders, 27 families and 12 sub families. Out of 71, 26 species were insectivores (I), 17 omnivores (O), 12 carnivores (C), 4 frugivores (F), 4 grainivores (G) and rest of the 8 species share more than one feeding guilds. This study therefore showed a remarkable variation in feeding ecology of birds in the region surveyed.
