The chapters incorporated in the present Volume 5 of the book series Animal Diversity, Natural History and Conservation represents an extremely modest selection of several facts on the subject. The lead articles includes: •Community Ecology and Taxonomy of Polychaetes in a Tropical Estuary •Distribution of Nymphalid Butterflies (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae) at Different Altitudinal Habitats •A Taxonomic Review of the Genus Cyrtolabulus Van der Vecht, 1969 •Web Dynamics and Estimation of Capture Area of the Common Signature Spider, Argiope pulchella Thorell •Morphology of Cyrtophora bidenta Tikader •Effect of Insecticides on Spiders •Eco-biology of the Endemic Fruit Fly Phorticella striata •Breeding Biology and Mating Strategies of Coral Reef Shrimp Lysmata wurdemanni Gibbes •Perspective on Fish Diversity •DNA Fingerprinting in Conservational Research on Ichthyofauna •Aspects of Dietary Tactics and Choices in Little Brown Doves (Streptopelia senegalensis senegalensis) •In Situ and Ex Situ Conservation of Red Panda •Habitat Characteristics and Foraging Ecology of Common Babbler, Turdoides caudatus caudatus •Behavioural Ecology of Sloth Bear (Melursus ursinus Shaw 1791) •Ecological Crisis vis-à-vis Intraspecific Conflict: A Case Study with Rhinos •State of the Asian Elephant (Elephas maximus Linnaeus 1758) and its Habitat It is hoped, this volume of the series shall be a useful resource of knowledge for the biologists, environmentalists, ecologists, conservationists and people of allied disciplines engaged in respective fields of research.
