Taphonomy perspectives on Tiger (Panthera tigeris) kills and natural deaths
of domestic buffalo Bubalus bubalis (Linnaeus, 1785) with special reference
to vultures and others scavenger vertebrates

Abstract :

Baseline information on the avifauna of an area is a prerequisite to assess the status of an area, as birds are the indicators of habitat quality. However, baseline information on avifauna for most of the places in India has not been well documented and as a result predicting the changes in the population of avifauna due to human-impact over the years become difficult. Kolli Hills is one such an unexplored area in terms of avifauna for many decades. An attempt was made to assess the status of the avifauna of Kolli Hills. In total, 101 species of birds were identified and no species was strictly abundant in Kolli Hills. The Kolli Hills still have some potential habitats for sustaining sizable bird population. However, the existing potential habitats may easily be lost in the very near future as developmental activities are at their absolute peak in recent years.
