Abstract
Population ecology of Red-naped ibis or Indian black ibis, Pseudibis
papillosa (Temminck,C J 1824) and Asian Woolly- necked stork or White-
necked stork, Ciconia episcopus ( Boddaert, P 1783) in muzaffarnagar, india
was studied and the collected data revealed that the Red-naped ibis species
population was seen throughout the year with good number, while the population
of Wooly-necked stork species population was seen with less number at specific
certain area, selected for each observation. A survey based population counting
data of Red-naped ibis at selected twelve regions from January 2020 to December
2023 revealed that in the year 2020, the mean count value, variance and SD were
calculated as 49.08, 59.09 and 7.68 respectively. The calculated values for
same were 50.91, 39.24 and 6.26 in year 2021 and 53.75, 69.85 and 8.35 in year
2022. These values were found as mean- 54.25, variance-64.52 and SD-8.03 in the
year 2023. The population count of Woolly- necked stork at five places with
specific area on Ganga canal road and in Bhopa region from Jan 2020 to Dec 2023.
The observed data of population count of Woolly-necked stork were analysed and
mean count value-14.83, variance-1.47 and SD-1.21 were calculated in year 2020.
The same values were calculated as mean count- 13.91, variance-3.40 and SD-1.84
in the year 2021. The same values were calculated as, mean- 12.08, variance-6.07
and SD-2.46 on the basis of taken observations in the year 2022. The values for
the year 2023 were assessed as mean-14.08, variance-3.57 and SD-1.89.
