Monitoring the habitat selection of lesser whistling Duck (Dendrocygna javanica) is highly crucial for species conservation and management. In this study, habitat selection of D. javanica in 14 heterogeneous lakes (direct visual observation and point sampling technique) and foraging ecology (scan through method) was investigated through April-September, 2016. It was observed that lake Belibis L1 was heavily preferred by D. javanica (i.e., 166.16 individuals) and less preferred lake Kemoning L11 (i.e., 0.2 individuals). However, three lakes i.e., Seroja L2, Telipok L3 and Drift Wood L4 were completely avoided by D. javanica (i.e., no individual was observed) during the study period. The highest pH value was observed in lake Grebe L8 (September 2016; 8.9) and ... view more»
