New Delhi is one of the world’s most populous cities; yet, it harbours several woodlands that support a variety of wildlife. The persistence of mesopredators like the golden jackal (<em>Canis aureus </em>Linn.) in the city is intriguing and provides an opportunity to explore coexistence in an urban context. Using a combination of camera trapping and occupancy modelling, our study aims to understand the habitat use, distribution, and urban adaptations of the jackal in Delhi’s Central Ridge Reserve Forest. Preliminary analysis shows extensive habitat use and sophisticated adaptations including adjustments in activity patterns in response to human activity and competition from feral dogs. The study also demonstrated behavioural adaptations, particularly in terms of foraging, denning, and coexistence with other species, which enable these urban populations of golden jackals to persist in the city. The study indicates the need for newer frameworks for conservation of synanthropic wild fauna that persist in calorie-rich urban environments. </p> <p> </p>2024-02-01T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2024 Ajay Immanuel Gonji, Sonali Chauhan, Suresh Babuhttps://ecoinsee.org/journal/ojs/index.php/ees/article/view/1193Ecology of Grasslands of Central Nicobar2023-12-05T01:09:02+00:00Shashank Bhardwajshashank.17@aud.ac.inShiwani shiwani.21@stu.aud.ac.inMandeep mandeepumra@nipgr.ac.inGitanjali Yadavgy@nipgr.ac.inSuresh Babusuresh@aud.ac.in<p>The tropical grasslands of the Central Nicobar Islands have long been perceived as anthropogenic formations, which has influenced their conservation and management in the region. Despite their ecological and cultural significance, these grasslands have received limited scholarly attention, rendering them vulnerable to alternative land uses and conversion. This study aims to address these knowledge gaps through an extensive vegetation survey, soil analysis, and ethnographic research. The outcomes of the vegetation survey and soil analysis reveal that these grasslands are the result of serpentine soil formations, managed by Nicobari communities by fire. The ethnographic research reveals the cultural importance of the grassland commons and its governance through the <em>tuhet</em> system. Further, the study shows that the access regimes have undergone a rapid transformation during post-tsunami resettlement, endangering local instuitions and the sustainability of the grassland commons of the Nicobars.</p>2024-02-01T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2024 Shashank Bhardwaj, Shiwani, Mandeep, Gitanjali Yadav, Suresh Babu
