Bird-Tree Associations and Co-occurrence Patterns in Delhi: Implications for Urban Ecological Restoration and Invasive Species Management
Abstract: Urban trees and birds are intertwined indicators of ecological resilience in cities. This study maps citywide bird-tree interactions in Delhi, India, hosting more than 300 avian species. The city was divided into hexagonal grids, and bird–tree data (506 interactions) were collected through field surveys across 131 sites using standardized 1-kilometre transects. Native keystone species, like ficus, supported the greatest bird diversity, while invasive Prosopis juliflora was widely used for perching …

An Assessment of some Ferns of the Polypodiaceae Family from Kinnaur district of Himachal Pradesh with Reference to their Morphological and Ethnobotanical Aspects
Abstract: Pteridophytes represent a category of seedless plants that reproduce through spores. This group is divided into two lineages: lycophytes, characterized by fronds with no leaf gap in the stem stele (Lycophylls), and Monilophytes, commonly known as ferns, which have fronds with a leaf gap in the stem stele. The Himalayan Region in India stands out globally for its distinctive topography, extensive altitudinal range, diverse climate, and varied habitats. Pteridophytes play …
