- Abstract
The article presents a study that estimates the abundance of Grey Junglefowl Gallus sonneratii in Kalakad-Mundanthurai Tiger Reserve, Tamil Nadu, India. It notes that the species is an endemic and has a declining trend in population due to hunting and habitat degradation. It adds that opportunistic encounters during the study were used to calculate its sex ratio. Results confirmed that it has preferred to moderate canopy cover, high scrub cover and mixed deciduous forest to scrub forest.
