Abstract
Wild ungulates in the Himalayas, the major diet source for large carnivores, play an important role in ecosystem functioning. Studying their distribution, population demography and land-use patterns is pivotal for decision making and proposing conservation and management plans. We collected faecal droppings of ungulates from Western Himalayas, identified them using DNA analysis and prioritized three wild ungulates i.e. serow (Capricornis sumatraensis), blue sheep (Pseudois nayaur) and ibex (Capra sibirica) for generating quantitative measurements data that can be used in identifying the faecal pellets of these three ungulates showing overlapping distribution. We observed significant difference (p < 0.05) in specific measurements of pellets among serow, blue sheep and ibex. The present study provides a baseline measurements for identifying these ungulates and aid to the understanding their abundance and distribution in the wild.
