    Investigating the Social Structure of Female Asiatic Lions
    (Wildlife Institute of India, Dehradun, 2019) Borah, Doli; Kolipakam, Vishnupriya; Jhala, Y.V.
    In this study the social structure of lion prides in the Gir landscape through behavioural observation discussed. the study was carried out in and around Gir protected area of Gujarat. In India the Gir forest only has the last free ranging population of Asiatic lion.

    Dogs Finally have their Day? Aspects Changthang Wildlife Sanctuary Ladakh
    (Wildlife Institute of India, Dehradun, 2019) Subhashini, K.; Kawlni, Lallianpuii; Jhala, Y.V.
    In a country with increasing numbers of free-ranging dogs that often times foray into wildlife habitats, even their presence has been established as a threat for biodiversity conservation in any landscape. Stated that they pose a problem, the means and extent of the problem needs an understanding of their ecology. This study aims to understand the effect of anthropogenic subsidies on the population, ranging, and subsidy resource usage patterns of free-ranging dogs. Placing subsidies in the centre of the ecology of these dogs, the study also attempts to understand inter-species interactions and potential for dogs to act as disease reservoirs in the unique trans-Himalayan landscape.

    Home Range, Ranging Patterns and Abundance Estimation of Golden Jackals in the BHAL Region of Gujarat
    (Wildlife Institute of India, Dehradun, 2001) Aiyadurai, Ambika; Jhala, Y.V.
    Studied Golden Jackals (Canis aureus) in the Bhal area of Gujarat using radiotelemetry. Six jackals were trapped in Velavadar.National Park during November and December 2000 using rubber-padded leg-hald traps. The average home range size of jackals was estimated to be 14. 30 ± 4.06 sq. km. The core areas of jackal home ranges were highly correlated with vegetation cover. Habitats preferred for core areas were Prosopis juliflora and grasslands. Jackals ranged an average distance of 6.8 ± 0.91 km in a night. Most movements were out of the park to surrounding villages, which were rich in food resources for jackals. I evaluated two techniques to estimate jackal abundance namely the track plot method and simulated howling responses method in six areas differing in jackal abundances in the Bhal and Kutch regions. The latter technique gave a better resolution of abundance categories within the study sites.
