Solution
If I were studying the Pakke Tiger Reserve, I would organise information about bird species systematically based on their common names, scientific names, physical features, habitats, food habits and conservation status.
I would prepare a table as follows:
|
Bird species |
Scientific name |
Habitat |
Food habits |
|---|---|---|---|
|
Great Hornbill |
Buceros bicornis |
Tropical forests |
Fruits and small animals |
|
Wreathed Hornbill |
Rhyticeros undulatus |
Evergreen forests |
Mainly fruits |
|
Oriental Pied Hornbill |
Anthracoceros albirostris |
Forests and woodland edges |
Fruits and insects |
|
Rufous-necked Hornbill |
Aceros nipalensis |
Dense forests |
Mainly fruits |
I would also record their size, colour, beak shape, nesting habits and conservation status.
Conclusion:
Organising information based on common characteristics helps in identifying, comparing and classifying bird species and understanding their biodiversity and conservation needs.
