Description: Das Projekt "Niche Differentiation of Solitary Ungulates in Lowland Nepal: A case study on four-horned antelope and barking deer" wird vom Umweltbundesamt gefördert und von Universität Freiburg, Forstzoologisches Institut, Professur für Wildtierökologie und Wildtiermanagement durchgeführt. Ecological niche which is the relational position of a species or population in its ecosystem is determined in response to the distribution of resources and competitors through the process of niche differentiation by which natural selection forces competing species into different patterns of resource use. This process allows two species to split certain resources so that one species does not out-compete the other as dictated by the competitive exclusion principle; thus coexistence is obtained through the differentiation of their realized ecological niches. The four-horned antelope and barking deer are two small sized solitary ungulates found in lowland Nepal. This study focuses to address some important questions on niche separation of ungulates in reference to these two similarly species. For this, line transect method will be used to assess the habitat relationships/resource selection of the study species in landscape level and lab-work for diet analysis to assess the foraging ecology.
