Pages : 639
Book Description
Few places have been as influential as the Indian subcontinent in shaping the course of life on Earth. Yet its evolution has remained largely unchronicled. Indica: A Deep Natural History of the Indian Subcontinent fills this gap. From the oldest rocks, formed three billion years ago in Karnataka, to the arrival of our ancestors 50,000 years ago on the banks of the Indus, the author meticulously sifts through wide-ranging scientific disciplines and through the layers of earth to tell us the story of India, filled with a variety of fierce reptiles, fantastic dinosaurs, gargantuan mammals and amazing plants. Beautifully produced in full colour, with a rare collection of images, illustrations and maps, Indica is full of fascinating, lesser-known facts. It shows us how every piece of rock and inch of soil is a virtual museum, and how, over billions of years, millions of spectacular creatures have reproduced, walked and lived over and under it.

Author: Rajan Verma

ISBN: 9783659781667
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 100
Book Description
The Indian subcontinent has a rich diversity of chiropteran fauna and a few studies have been conducted on the diversity of Indian chiropteran fauna. So the objectives were taken to access the diversity of chiropteran fauna, roost selection and create awareness among people on bat conservation in Uttar Pradesh. During the field survey, a total of eleven species of bats were observed and three of them are frugivorous bats, such as Pteropus giganteus, Rousettus leschenaulti and Cynopterus sphinx (Pteropodidae). Pteropodid bats prefer to roost on large trees, leaf fronts, twigs and modified tents as well as buildings, which were stable and long-lasting. There were eight insectivorous bats observed during the study period, such as Megaderma lyra (Megadermatidae), Hipposideros fulvus (Hipposideridae), Taphozous nudiventris (Emballonuridae), Rhinopoma hardwickii (Rhinopomatidae), Rhinopoma microphyllum (Rhinopomatidae), Pipistrellus coromandra (Vespertilionidae), Pipistrellus ceylonicus (Vespertilionidae) and Scotophilus heathii (Vespertilionidae). These bats occupy mainly in caves, crevices, old abandoned building and historical monuments etc.
