A distribution survey of the Forest Owlet Heteroglaux blewitii in north-western Maharashtra

2017

A systematic grid-wise survey of Forest Owlet Heteroglaux blewitii was carried out over an area of 434 sq km as well as a road survey of along 101 km, to assess its distribution in Nandurbar District, Yawal Wildlife Sanctuary, and Tansa Wildlife Sanctuary in north-western Maharashtra. We recorded 13 detections of Forest Owlets from Nandurbar District, 12 from Tansa Wildlife Sanctuary and none from Yawal Wildlife Sanctuary. Our survey reports the presence of the Forest Owlet in Navapurand Chinchpada Reserved Forests in Nandurbar District, making three distinct populations in the district that require conservation attention. The Forest Owlet was found to be well distributed in Tansa Sanctuary. Encroachment on forest land, tree cutting, large scale fires, and hunting for the pot are potential threats for the Forest Owlet population in north-western Maharashtra. 140. Juvenile Forest Owlet.

Morphometric analysis of the mandibular ramus and its clinical and medicolegal significance

International Journal of Research in Medical Sciences

Background: During natural calamities entire skeleton of single person could not be found. In such case, determination of sex with fragments of the bone available required range of data with proven accuracy. Hence this study is aimed at to provide range of data for minimum number of parameters of the ramus of the mandible.Methods: Three hundred dry mandibles of known sexes and bearing all teeth or intact alveolar margin were included in the study. Vertical height; maximum and minimum breadths of the ramus of the mandible were measured. All the data were analyzed for significance of the occurrence in relation to sex and laterality by means of paired t-test.Results: On the basis of all the three parameters together, we got 95% accuracy in determination of sex. Statistically significant differences were found in all parameters between male and female mandibles. The laterality distributions for all the parameters were found to be insignificant.Conclusions: Accurate determination of sex ...
