Inter population genetic diversity analysis using ISSR markers in Pinus roxburghii (Sarg.) from Indian provenances
Inter population genetic diversity analysis was undertaken between four Pinus roxburghii populations of India using ISSR markers. A total of 72 accessions of genomic DNA from mature needles from four distantly located populations (two native/natural from sub-tropical forests and two provenance trial plantations in plains) were isolated and subjected to ISSR analysis.

Response of leopards to re-introduced tigers in Sariska Tiger Reserve, Western India
Tigers got exterminated from Sariska Tiger Reserve before 2005. After that, five tigers were re-introduced to Sariska during 2008 to 2010. The present study compared the abundance, site occupancy and temporal activity pattern of leopard before and after tiger re-introduction. The population of leopard was estimated by mark-recapture technique using camera traps during 2008 to 2010 in an effective...
