The paper estimates hornbill abundance and habitat correlates in Kali Tiger Reserve, finding Malabar Grey Hornbills are most abundant and widely distributed, with encounter rates linked to food-tree density.

This study examines how forest cover, temperature, and flower abundance affect pollinator communities in cashew plantations in the Western Ghats, finding positive effects of flower abundance and forest cover on pollinator richness and visits, and temperature-dependent patterns in visitation.

This study shows that chronic disturbance in tropical forests favors deciduous over evergreen tree communities, especially under water stress, in the Western Ghats.

The paper examines how land-use intensification affects nectar resources, bird communities, and bird-flower interaction networks in the Western Ghats, finding that agroforests support more diverse bird-flower interactions than monocultures or forests.

This study examines how native trees within cashew plantations and surrounding forest cover affect bird diversity and persistence in a biodiversity hotspot.

The paper reports the discovery of a new Myristica swamp in the northern Western Ghats of Maharashtra, India, highlighting the need for further systematic surveys.
