Cross Connection
Birdman of India, Dr. Salim Ali, has mentioned in this book about similarities Western Ghat forest & North-East forest... Both are Biodiversity hotspots... In birds some similar families are seen in western Ghats & North-East, like Shortwings, e.g. White-browed, Lesser, Rusty-bellied & Gould's seen in North-East & White-bellied (now called as White-bellied Blue Robin)in Western Ghats, Another family is Laughingthrushes, several Laughingthrush species are found in NE & Wynaad, Kerala & Black-chinned in Western Ghats. No where else in central India these families are found.
Kerala Laughingthrush (Trochalopteron fairbanki) is endemic (Seen only in that region) to Western Ghats, seen south of Palghat gap (Palghat gap is low mountain pass near Pallakkad town in Kerala). This palghat gap acts like a barrier to separate bird species, like White-bellied Blue Robin (seen south of palghat) and Nigiri Blue Robin (seen North of Palghat Gap).
