Title A name given to the resource Assessment of diversity, abundance, and seasonal variatons of bird species in Bengaluru District, India during COVID-19 lockdown Subject The topic of the resource Avian abundance; bird diversity; conservaton; lockdown efects; polluton indices; species evenness; species richness; threatened species; water bodies Description An account of the resource The study investgates bird populaton dynamics in Bengaluru, India, post-lockdown, focusing on occurrence, seasonal abundance, species diversity, richness, dominance, and evenness. It covers 55 bird species across 52 genera, grouped into 32 families within 13 orders, with a notable peak in winter. Various indices, including Shannon Wiener, Margalefs, Pielous, and Simpsons, reveal signifcant seasonal diferences in bird populaton characteristcs.
