A faunal diversity survey conducted within the Chandoli National Park and Radhanagari Wildlife Sanctuary in India identified the presence of 374 species within these areas over the three-year survey period.

The survey was conducted in three phases, pre-monsoon, monsoon, and post-monsoon to identify different species as insect life and plant species change according to these phases. Over the course of this three year survey, which began in 2007, scientists identified a total of 374 species, including:

  • 35 species of zooplankton (organisms)

Mercury in Fishes from 21 National Parks in the Western United States— Park Variation in Concentrations and Ecological Risk

This report is from the United States Geological Survey and the National Park Service, Air Resources Division. It looks at mercury concentration in fish located in 84 different sites across 21 national parks around the US. The study of "unprecedented spatial breadth" found that mercury levels can vary greatly between different parks, and even within parks themselves, marking the need for more localized monitoring. In some cases, high mercury levels were found in extremely remote areas, indicating that in addition to local monitoring, more research should be carried out into the transport of mercury through the ecosystem.
