Creators
Description
Avifauna diversity of densely populated and important agricultural district Gujranwala in Punjab province was assessed for a period of one year. The area was initially part of tropical thorn forest and was changed into urban and agriculture landscapes. Present study was planned to assess the avian diversity of urban and peri-urban areas of Gujranwala district. The data were calculated through computer-based software PAST to record the diversity indices. A total of 22 avian species were noted from urban areas of Gujranwala. It was noted that the diversity was rich in per-urban as compared to urban habitats. It can be concluded from the present study that food, shelter and nesting habitats are the main factors that influence avian diversity and urban habitats are favorable for generalist bird species.
