Explanation

The Line Transect Method is a survey technique where an observer follows a fixed pathway (transect) and records bird sightings along the way.

This method is useful for estimating bird populations, species distribution, and habitat preferences.

Explanation

 MOT is widely used in autonomous vehicles, surveillance, sports analytics, and biological studies (e.g., tracking animal movement).

Key Aspects of MOT:

Detection – Identifying multiple objects in each frame.

Association – Matching detected objects across frames to maintain consistent tracking.

Prediction – Estimating object positions in future frames (e.g., using Kalman filters).

Data Fusion – Combining information from multiple sources (e.g., LiDAR, cameras) for more accurate tracking.

Explanation

 The Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) contains 42 articles along with 3 annexes.

Explanation

 Ineffective in Large Areas – Difficult to cover extensive regions accurately.

Explanation

 It hibernates throughout the winter in the northwestern Himalayas

Currently, it only exists in Asia, mainly confined in the Himalayas of India, Bhutan, Nepal, China, and Pakistan.

Explanation

 QGIS (Quantum GIS) is widely used in wildlife surveys for mapping habitats, tracking animal movements, analyzing spatial data, and planning conservation strategies.

It allows researchers to visualize and interpret ecological data efficiently.

Explanation

 The destruction of wildlife is a multifaceted problem, and the answer is All of these, as deforestation, overfishing, and climate change are all significant drivers of wildlife decline. 

Explanation

Fossorial means digging or burrowing animals.

Explanation

 Urial males have large horns, curling outwards from the top of the head turning in to end somewhere behind the head; females have shorter, compressed horns.

The horns of the males are up to 100 cm (39 in) long.

The shoulder height of an adult male urial is between 80 and 90 cm (31 and 35 in).

Explanation

 Zoological/botanical garden is not included under in situ conservation.
