Animals inhabiting the water/air interface show many morphological and physiological adaptations designed with different types of function in that unique environments. In the present age there are new challenges. These include climatic change and contamination of the environment by anthropogenic activities, Thermal Springs, Lakes and Reservoirs.

Science Dealing with Biological and other Phenomena Particularly Inland Waters

Haemopotetic Activity in the Gills of Certain Teleosts

Limnobiotic Studies of the Thermal Springs of Rajgir (Bihar)

Natural History of Kosi River Basin

Reproductive cycle in Parreysia favidens (Benson): A Freshwater Bivalve of Kosi River

Thermal Springs

Lakes and Reservoirs

Ponds

Swamps and Marshes

Diel Variations of Certain Physico-chemical Factors and Plankton Population of a Chaur (Wetland) of Kusheswarasthan (Bihar, India)
