Endemic fishes of the Western Ghats and the Satpura hypothesis
2001, Current Science
Starting late in the 19th century till the first half of the 20th century, biogeographers in India were attempting to explain the apparent discontinuity in the ranges of certain plants and animals. The isolated presence of flora and fauna of Malayan origin in the Western Ghats and other ...

Abstract Even since Linnaeus, naturalists and taxonomists have been systematically describing species new to science. Besides indicating gaps in taxonomic effort, understanding the temporal patterns of species discovery could help in identifying drivers that determine discovery. In this study we report the patterns of discovery of eight taxa—birds, butterflies, frogs, tiger beetles, grasses, asters, ferns and orchids—in the Western Ghats, a megadiversity centre in India.

The current study encompasses various key dimensions, including the analysis of bio-ecological parameters within freshwater streams, as well as the assessment of diversity, seasonality, and distributional patterns of endemic stream-fish species in the Manjalaru streams of the Palani hills. Nevertheless, the implementation of effective conservation measures to address the adverse impacts on these ecosystems has been notably sluggish and insufficient. Consequently, numerous aquatic fish species are experiencing a rapid decline. The primary factors contributing to the decline in biodiversity within freshwater streams are linked to habitat degradation and reduced water depth, the introduction of non-native species, water diversion activities, pollution, and the consequences of seasonal variations. The genus Cyprinidae, presently comprising a collection of species, encompasses a diversity of organisms within its taxonomic structure. Specifically, this genus comprises a minimum of eleven distinct species, all of which are native to the freshwater ecosystem of the Manjalaru stream situated in the Palani Hills of the Western Ghats. While these species are commonly encountered in the southern region of India and have historically served as a source of sustenance, there has been limited understanding regarding the extent of morphological variations existing both between and within these species. Additionally, the interrelationships between species, as well as the intraspecific genetic diversity, remained largely unexplored until now. This study has contributed valuable insights into the conservation and distributional patterns observed within the Punitius species, highlighting a noteworthy level of diversity among the species under investigation. The findings underscore the necessity for more comprehensive bio-geographic sampling and a thorough analysis of morphological data to unveil the inherent natural lineage within this genus. The outcome of this research hold potential significance for future endeavors, facilitating an enhanced

The >600-km-long Satpura mountain range of central India is usually considered as a horst, separated by normal faults from the Tapi and Narmada grabens. Numerous geological observations and seismicity suggest that a fundamentally different scenario is possible: the arcuate Satpura range may be a large-scale compressional uplift, riding over a north-dipping Satpura-Tapi boundary thrust, akin to the thrust-bounded regional-scale anticlines of the Columbia river flood basalt province. Erosion of the southern front of the Satpuras produces a large fault-line scarp, an illusory normal fault; close parallels exist in the Himalaya and Kachchh. The Satpura-Tapi boundary thrust is blind, buried under the post-Deccan Tapi alluvium, but periodically active, and the Tapi valley has significant seismic risk.

The Satpura Hypothesis explains the Malayan element in the fauna of Peninsular India in terms of a main route of immigration along. the Satpura trend of mountains (Fig. 1). This idea arose in 1937. out of a study [1] of the distribution of Himalayan fishes, amongst which the typical Malayan element (apart from the loach-like catfish,

The Western Ghats along the West coast of Peninsular India are well known for their richness of biodiversity including freshwater species and are recognized as one of the eighteen "biodiversity hotspots" in the world, and are therefore a focus of great scientific interest.

The "Satpura Hypothesis" involved a speculation that there had been a mountainous link between the Himalaya and Peninsular India, a concept that was denied by geologists.

The Satpura hypothesis, a zoo-geographical hypothesis proposed by him that suggests that the central Indian Satpura Range of hills acted as a bridge for the gradual migrations of Malayan fauna into the peninsula and the Western Ghats of India. He supported the theory on the basis of torrential fishes which had special suckers to hold onto rocks.
The Satpura range separates the valleys of the west-flowing Narmada and Tapi Rivers, which are widely viewed as occupying structural grabens, implying that the Satpura is a horst (e.g., Valdiya, 2010, p. 621). The Satpura range mainly exposes thick (~1 km) sequences of subhorizontal to gently north-dipping (5-20o) Deccan flood basalts and, to ...
Conclusions: Based on our findings, we introduce the IIV hypothesis in explaining individual differences in language development. According to our hypothesis, inconsistency in the timing of cognitive processes, reflected by increased IIV in RTs, degrades learning different aspects of language, and results in individual differences in language abilities.
