Diversity, Abundance, and Distribution of Avifauna in District Jhang, Pakistan

The present study was conducted from March 2021 to February 2022 in the Thal desert and Trimmu barrage of district Jhang located in the Punjab province of Pakistan to find out the diversity, abundance, and distribution of birds. The point count method was used for the Trimmu barrage, and the line tr...

description The present study was conducted from March 2021 to February 2022 in the Thal desert and Trimmu barrage of district Jhang located in the Punjab province of Pakistan to find out the diversity, abundance, and distribution of birds. The point count method was used for the Trimmu barrage, and the line transect method was used for the collection of data in the Thal desert area. We recorded 31,696 individuals belonging to 67 species of birds from two distinct types of habitats (Thal desert and Trimmu barrage) of district Jhang. Among these species, 39 species were residents, 18 species were winter visitors, 9 species were summer breeders, and a single species (Terek sandpiper) was a passage migrant. Highly significant differences (X2=14979.7, df=11, and P

Highly significant differences (X2=14979.7, df=11, and P&lt;0.01) were observed in the abundance of birds between both habitats on every month. From the Thal desert area, 12,905 individuals belonging to 45 species were identified while 18,791 individuals from 58 bird species were observed in the Trimmu barrage, with 36 bird species among 67 species being common at both habitats. The most dominant species of the Trimmu barrage were the common pochard, little grebe, common coot, cattle egret, gadwall, little egret, red-wattled lapwing, and common teal. On the other hand, the Indian roller, common quail, cattle egret, common myna, and Indian kite were found to be the most common species in the Thal desert. The most notable feature of the present study is the identification of Xenus cinereus (Terek sandpiper) and Ammomanes phoenicura (rufous-tailed lark) in district Jhang as both species had no previous record in the study area. The Trimmu barrage was the more diverse and abundant site compared to the Thal desert as it provides both terrestrial and aquatic habitats for birds. The study determined that more varieties in the habitat and thermal changes affect the diversity, abundance, and distribution of birds.</description><identifier>ISSN: 0947-5745</identifier><identifier>EISSN: 1439-0469</identifier><identifier>DOI: 10.1155/2023/3308651</identifier><language>eng</language><publisher>Berlin: Hindawi</publisher><subject>Abundance ; Ammomanes phoenicurus ; Aquatic birds ; Aquatic habitats ; Avifauna ; Bird migration ; Birds ; Cattle ; Deserts ; Dominant species ; Geographical distribution ; Habitats ; Rivers ; Terrestrial ecosystems ; Winter ; Xenus cinereus</subject><ispartof>Journal of zoological systematics and evolutionary research, 2023-12, Vol.2023, p.1-14</ispartof><rights>Copyright © 2023 Ahmad Zaman et al.</rights><rights>Copyright © 2023 Ahmad Zaman et al.
