ABSTRACT
We investigated the annual population fluctuations of waterbird density in the Great Vedaranyam Swamp of Point Calimere Wildlife Sanctuary, Southern India between 2004 and 2006. Totally 47 species of waterbirds were recorded between 2004 and 2006 in Point Calimere Wildlife Sanctuary. The metabolism, physiology and behaviour of aquatic organisms are directly related to the temperature of the aquatic environment. The variations in maximum temperature were significant across different years (F= 63.97; P<0.001) as well as months (F= 70.11; P< 0.001). The variation in minimum temperature showed the significant differences among years (F= 26.63; P<0.001) and also among months (F= 49.55; P< 0.001) of the study period. The variations in rainfall were significant across different years (F= 2.47; P= 0.086), while the monthly variations were not significant (F= 8.70; P< 0.001) , during the study period. The variations in dry humidity were not significant among years (F= 3.20; P <0.042), while the monthly variations were significant (F= 12.98; P< 0.001) during the study period. The variations in wet humidity were not significant among years (F= 1.79; P= 0.168); but the monthly variations were significant (F= 6.21; P<0.001) during the study period. The variations in humidity did not show significant differences among the years (F= 0.68; P= 0.509) during the study period. On the other hand the monthly variations during the study period were significant (F= 22.94; P<0.001). To sum up, the variations in the meteorological variables viz., maximum and minimum temperature (C), rainfall (mm), dry and wet humidity (%) and humidity (%) showed significant differences across months and on the other hand, only the maximum and minimum temperature and dry humidity showed significant yearly variations.
