    Indian Bullfrogs

    • The Indian Bullfrog Hoplobatrachus Tigerinus (native to
      the Indian subcontinent) has rapidly invaded the Andaman
      islands after it was introduced there in the early 2000s.
    • In human-dominated areas, it now shares space with other
      native (and often endemic) frog species.
    •  The bullfrogs are prolific breeders: they have short breeding
      seasons, and each egg clutch can contain up to 5,750 eggs.
    • Its tadpoles are carnivorous and eat other tadpoles (including their own species).
    • The proportion of bullfrog tadpoles surviving was greater
      in the presence of both endemic frog tadpoles.
    • This is worrying because other native frog species – many
      of which are only being described – could also be affected

    Balsams of Eastern Himalayas

    • Consisting of both annual and perennial herbs, balsams
      are succulent plants with high endemism.
    • Because of their bright beautiful flowers, these groups of
      plants are of prized horticultural significance.
    • The details of the new species, including several new
      records, have been highlighted in the book, recently published by the Botanical Survey of India.
    • Of the 83 species described, 45 are from Arunachal Pradesh,
      24 from Sikkim and 16 species common to both states.
    Threats:
    • Prior to 2010, specimens of Impatiens that had potential
      of being identified as new species would be collected but
      the dried-up specimens looked identical to the species
      discovered earlier and their effort yielded no results.
    • Other than high endemism, what sets Impatiens apart is
      their sensitivity to climate change.
    • Most of the species of Impatiens cannot endure persistent
      drought or extended exposure to direct sunlight.
    • As a result Impatiens species are typically confined
      to stream margins, moist roadsides, waterside boulders, near waterfalls and wet forests.

    Miracle Plant Arogyapacha

    • This ‘miracle plant’ is known for its traditional use by the
      Kani tribal community to combat fatigue.
    • Studies have also proved its varied spectrum of pharmacological properties such as anti-oxidant, aphrodisiac, anti-microbial, anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, anti-tumour, anti-ulcer, anti-hyperlipidemic, hepatoprotective and anti-diabetic.

    Dracaena Cambodiana: India’s first dragon blood-oozing tree

    • A group of researchers has discovered Dracaena cambodiana, a dragon tree species in the Dongka Sarpo area of West Karbi Anglong, Assam.
    •  This is the first time that a dragon tree species has been
      reported from India.
    • In India, the Dracaena genus belonging to the family Asparagaceae is represented by nine species and two varieties in the Himalayan region, the northeast and Andaman and Nicobar Islands.
    • But Dracaena cambodiana is the only true dragon tree species.
    • The Dracaena seeds are usually dispersed by birds. But due
      to the large fruit size, only a few species of birds are able
      to swallow the fruits, thus limiting the scope of its nature
      conservation.

    7 New Species Of Insects That Can Walk On Water Discovered

    • The newly described species belong to the genus Mesovelia
      whose size ranges from 1.5 mm to 4.5 mm and are equipped
      with hydrophobic setae (bristles) on their legs.
    • The combination of hydrophobic setae and water surface
      tension prevents them from sinking.
    • The insects are pale green with silver-white wings with
      black veins on the basal half which make them stand out
      over the green mat of aquatic weeds.
    • Among the new discoveries, Mesovelia andamana is from
      Andaman Islands, bispinosa and M. isiasi are from Meghalaya, M. occulta and M. tenuia from Tamil Nadu and M.brevia and M. dilatata live both in Meghalaya and Tamil Nadu.

    Evolution

    •  These bugs are hemimetabolous insects without having
      larval stage i.e., they go from egg to nymph to adult.
    • They are found on freshwater bodies such as ponds, lakes,
      pools, streams, rocks with moss and sometimes on estuaries.
    • These bugs serve as predators and scavengers (feed on
      midges, water fleas, feed on dead and dying mosquitoes),
      thereby removing organic waste and also providing a natural sanitation service.
    • The females of Mesovelia are larger than males and dig
      several holes on plants and insert eggs in plant tissues with
      a specially adapted long serrated ovipositor (genital organ).

    Emperor Penguin Colony In Antarctica Vanishes

    • The emperor penguin (Aptenodytes forsteri) is the tallest
      and heaviest of all living penguin species and is endemic
      to Antarctica.
    • Like all penguins, it is flightless, with a streamlined body,
      and wings stiffened and flattened into flippers for a marine habitat.
    • Its diet consists primarily of fish, but also includes crustaceans, such as krill, and cephalopods, such as squid.
    • The only penguin species that breeds during the Antarctic winter, emperor penguins trek 50–120 km over the ice to breeding colonies which can contain up to several thousand individuals.
    • In 2012 the emperor penguin was uplisted from a species of least concern to near threatened by the IUCN.

    Arctic Kelp Forests

    • Kelp is a type of large brown seaweed that grows in shal-low, nutrient-rich saltwater, near coastal fronts around the world.
    • They occur on rocky coasts throughout the Arctic.
    • Kelp is a type of large brown seaweed that grows in shallow, nutrient-rich saltwater, near coastal fronts around the world.
    • They occur on rocky coasts throughout the Arctic.
    • The longest kelp recorded in the Arctic in Canada was 15 metres, and the deepest was found at 60-metre depth (Disko Bay, Greenland).
    • Kelps function underwater in the same way trees do on land. They create habitat and modify the physical environment by shading light and softening waves.
    • The underwater forests that Kelps create are used by many animals for shelter and food.More than 350 different species – up to 100,000 small invertebrates – can live on a single kelp plant, and many fish, birds and mammals depend on the whole forest.
    • Kelp forests also help protect coastlines by decreasing the power of waves during storms and reducing coastal erosion.

    Neelakurinji Blossom

    • Kurinji or Neelakurinji (Strobilanthes kunthianus) is a shrub that is found in the shola forests of the Western Ghats in South India
    • Nilgiri Hills, which literally means the blue mountains, got their name from the purplish-blue flowers of Neelakurinji that blossoms only once in 12 years.
    • It is the most rigorously demonstrated, with documented bloomings in 1838, 1850, 1862, 1874, 1886, 1898, 1910, 1922, 1934, 1946, 1958, 1970, 1982, 1994, 2006 and 2018
    • Some Kurinji flowers bloom once every seven years, and then die. Their seeds subsequently sprout and continue the cycle of life and death.

    Kashmir Stag (Hangul)

    • Hangul, the state animal of Jammu & Kashmir, is restricted to the Dachigam National Park some 15 km north-west of Jammu & Kashmir summer capital Srinagar.
    • The Hangul is placed under Schedule I of the Indian Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972 and the J&K Wildlife Protection Act, 1978.
    • The Hangul was once widely distributed in the mountains of Kashmir and parts of Chamba district in neighbouring Himachal Pradesh.
    • The IUCN’s Red List has classified it as Critically Endan-gered and is similarly listed under the Species Recovery Programme of the Wildlife Institute of India (WII) and the Environmental Information System (ENVIS) of the MoEFCC.
    • From a population of 5,000 in the early 1900s, the Hangul’s numbers have constantly declined over the decades.
    • The Hangul is considered equally significant to the state of Jammu & Kashmir as the tiger is to the whole of India.
    • The Paliyan tribal people living in Tamil Nadu used it as a reference to calculate their age.
    • It is the only Asiatic survivor or subspecies of the European red deer.
    • But the state animal’s decreasing population remains a big concern.
    • According to the latest survey in 2017, the population of Hangul is 182 in Dachigam and adjoining areas. Earlier population estimates suggest that there were 197 deer in 2004 and 186 in 2015. T
    • The IUCN Red Data Book — which contains lists of species at risk of extinction — has declared the Hangul as one of three species that were critically endangered in J&K.
    • The other two are the Markhor — the world’s largest species of wild goat found in Kashmir and several regions of central Asia — and the Tibetan antelope or ‘Chiru’.

    Great Indian Bustard

    • The Great Indian Bustard (GIB) is one of the few species that the Government of India has included in its ‘recovery programme for critically endangered species’.
    • With less than 200 GIBs remaining in the world, most of them were found in Rajasthan’s ‘Desert National Park’. We are on the brink of forever losing a majestic bird species, which was once a strong contender to be declared as India’s National Bird.
    • Habitat: Arid and semi-arid grasslands, open country with thorn scrub, tall grass interspersed with cultivation.
    • It avoids irrigated areas. It is endemic to Indian Sub-continent. found in central India, westem India and eastern Pakistan.
    • Currently, it is found in only six states in the country Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Rajasthan and Karnataka. Protection: Listed in Schedule I of the Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972 and Critically Endangered on the IUCN Red List.
    • It is also listed in Appendix I of CITES and covered under CMS or Bonn Convention.
    • Bustard Species Found in India: Great Indian Bustard, the Lesser Florican and the Bengal Florican; Houbara also belong to Bustard family but it’s a migratory species.
    • Importance to Ecosystem: GIB is an indicator species for grassland habitats and its gradual disappearance from such environments shows their deterioration. Once the species is lost. there will be no other species to replace it, and that will destabilise the ecosystem of the grassland and affect critical bio-diversities, as well as blackbucks and wolves, who share their habitat with the GIB.
    • Conservation Steps: Great Indian Bustard, popularly known as ‘Godawan is Rajasthan’s state bird. The state government has started “Project Godawan” for its conservation at Desert National Park (DNP) in Jaisalmer. It’s one of the Spades for The Recovery Programme under the Integrated Development of  Wildlife Habitats of the Ministry of Environment and Forests.

    Tasmanian Tiger

    • The Tasmanian tiger or thylacine (a dog headed pouched dog) was an exclusively carnivorous marsupial that is considered to be extinct.
    • It has resemblance to a dog, with its distinguishing features being the dark stripes beginning at the rear of its body and extending into its tail, its stiff tail and abdominal pouch.
    • The last known thylacine died in captivity over 80 years ago, in Tasmania’s Hobart Zoo in 1936.
    • It may also be the only mammal to have become extinct in Tasmania since the European settlement.

    Adratiklit boulahfa

    • Named Adratiklit boulahfa, it is also the first stegosaurus to be found in North Africa.
    • Its remains were discovered in the Middle Atlas Mountains of Morocco.
    • The scientists believe it is not only a new species but also belongs to a new genus.
    • The name is derived from the words used by the Berber (an ethnic group indigenous to North Africa) for mountains (Adras), lizard (tiklit) and and the area where the specimen was found. (Boulahfa).

  • Top reasons why Civilsdaily has the best Economics coverage for the UPSC exam

    Top reasons why Civilsdaily has the best Economics coverage for the UPSC exam

    Economics is central to the UPSC exam. In Prelims, you can expect up to 15 questions based on your knowledge of Economics. In Mains, the knowledge of Economics could fetch you up to 100 marks. Sound knowledge of Economics can also be applied in essay writing. This is why it is essential that you have a good command of the subject and get the right guidance from the very start!

    The coverage of Economics at CivilsDaily under the guidance of Sajal Sir has been transformative for students. Our students have been able to answer almost all of the Economics questions in both Prelims and Mains using the study material and techniques we provided. 

    UPSC 2022 countdown has begun! Get your personal guidance plan now!

    In fact, we have narrowed down all the reasons why Civils Daily provides the best coverage of Economics:

    A. Free initiatives

    Economy – Free Material by Himanshu Sir

    1. It tries to explain the concept using circular Diagram for developing conceptual Clarity

    The Inflation

    The Deflation

    2. We give Layman examples for a better understanding of the topic?

    Remember what happened when there was an outbreak of swine flu in India? Due to the outbreak of the swine flu epidemic in India, the government issued a warning that people should wear Breathing Masks to protect them from the infection. As a result, the demand for masks had risen to a very high level, but the supply was limited as the producers of the mask had no anticipation of the swine flu epidemic. Due to the high demand and limited supply of masks, the prices had risen manifold. The case above captures the mechanism of demand-pull inflation.

    3. We add a lot of case studies?

    Case Study- Money in Nazi’s POW Camps

    UPSC 2022 countdown has begun! Get your personal guidance plan now!

    4. Use of Tables for comparison

    For example – Effects of Inflation on Different Sections

    Creditor/lenderDebtor/BorrowerPensionerProducersWealth Holders
    Inflation harms creditors, as they lose in real terms. A 1000 RS lent @ 5%, will pay an interest rate of 50. If inflation rises to 10%, the price of goods will be 1100, but after interest, the return will only be 1050.Inflation benefits the Debtor as they gain in real terms.Inflation harms the pensioners, if their pensions are not indexed to inflation, and loses money.They stand to gain by inflation since the price of goods and services rise faster than the cost of production as wages take time lag to react.They stand to lose due to inflation, as their real returns fall due to rise in prices. 

    5. We use data to explain concepts

    • India has been moderately successful in reducing poverty. In 1990, the all India Poverty HeadCount Ratio (PHCR) was estimated to be 47.8%. 
    • In order to meet the 2015 target, the PHCR level has to be 23.9%. In 2011-12, the PHCR was 21.9%. 
    • This indicates that India has achieved the poverty reduction target, however, progress is uneven. 

    6. We connect the Static and the Current Affairs part

    For example, in the chapter on Planning we gave a brief historical background wrt what is planning, what are the different types of planning, and India’s experience with planning. We followed it with contemporary aspects like Niti Ayog, Issues with Planning, and reforms needed.

    7. We use off-beat topics in mainstream chapters

    Eg: We discussed Amartya sen’s Capability approach in the poverty Chapter

    8. We cover all the important Government initiatives

    For example, in the chapter on poverty, we covered all the recent initiatives launched by the Government for the eradication of poverty.

    In the chapter on Banks, the government’s initiatives to tackle NPA are covered extensively.

    9. Economic Survey and Niti Aayog – New India @75 document recommendations are covered extensively

    For example – In the inclusive growth chapter we have mentioned NITI Aayog’s Strategy for New India @75 recommendations.

    UPSC 2022 countdown has begun! Get your personal guidance plan now!

     10. Global Comparision

    We provide comprehensive global comparison data for a better understanding of the context.

    11. We use infographics to help you understand the topics better

    wealth inequality in india

    12. We use Bullet points and Sub-headings making concepts easy-to-understand

    For example -How to reduce Inequalities

    1. Promotion of Labour Intensive Manufacturing: The failure to promote labour-intensive manufacturing like; Construction, Textile, Clothing, Footwear etc. is the single most reason of rising inequalities. The Labour-intensive manufacturing has the potential to absorb millions of people who are leaving farming. 
    2. More Inclusive Growth: The promotion and adoption of an Inclusive Growth Agenda is the only solution to rising inequality problem. Economic growth which is not inclusive will only exacerbate inequality.
    3. Skill Development: The development of advanced skills among the youth is a prerequisite if India wants to make use of its demographic dividend. The skilling of youth by increasing investment in education is the only way we can reduce inequality. India needs to become a Skill-led economy.

    B. Daily News initiatives

    1. Newscards

    2. Use of storytelling in Lectures

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I-oSOmq8dcc (Topic 1)

    3. Complete Hand Holding

    We do not assume that students know anything about Economics, we start from scratch! Our Economics coverage takes students from the very basic concepts to the advanced ones in a gradual step-by-step manner. We start off by building a strong foundation for ALL students and then introduce them to the more complex topics. This helps them become consistent and learning becomes easier.

    UPSC 2022 countdown has begun! Get your personal guidance plan now!

    4. Decoding The UPSC Syllabus And Question Pattern

    We decode the UPSC syllabus and the question pattern for students. We use the scientific method of dissecting each question based on different topics and prioritising the most important materials for you. This helps students organise their studies and focus on the topics that really matter. In fact, this helps students save a lot of time and effort in their preparation.

    5. Guiding Students To Learn At Their Own Pace

    We believe that each student learns at their own pace. That is why we cover Economics with individual attention to each student. We make sure that everyone grasps the concepts. All of the topics and discussions are designed in a way that each student gets the most benefit out of our Economics coverage.

    6. Resolving Doubts on CD community at Habitat

    7. Concentrated Study Material For Revision And Practice

    We do not want students to spend a lot of time and money trying to find the right resources for Economics. Our mentors create concentrated study material that students can read and score more. We work to create these specially designed study material for our students and pack it with all the relevant information. Everything you need for Economics, you’ll find in one place.

    8. Individual Feedback And Evaluation

    We conduct thorough feedback and evaluation for each student. Be it Prelims MCQs or Mains answer-writing practice, each student gets detailed feedback on their performance and tips on how to improve it further. With regular feedback, most of our students were able to score higher consistently with extremely high accuracy rates.

    9) Preparing You For The Exam

    We do not just train you academically, we train you mentally. We provide our students with complete support for the exam. We teach them the right answer-writing techniques, ways of intelligent guessing, and time management too. We ensure that every student is absolutely ready for the exam in every aspect!

    We take our students through step-by-step learning to build a strong foundation. We cover Economics in a practical manner and teach you how to use that effectively in the exam. And that is why our students have performed consistently well in the exams and scored higher than they did before.
