ABSTRACT
The data on distribution and density of animal species, sharing habitat with wintering Houbara in Balochistan (Pakistan), suggest that Galerida cristata shares the maximum association, followed by Lepus capensis, Alaemon alaudipes, Gazella bennettii, Ammomanes deserti and Vulpes vulpes. All other species have a low association with Houbara. Six major habitat types and 13 species association eco-groups have been identified on the basis “ Two Way Indicator Species Analysis ”. Precipitation increases average density of animal population; but has no effect on species diversity. Grazing stress generally decreases Houbara density.
