SHOLA SKY ISLANDS

Ph.D. Student
RESEARCH INTERESTS:

I am a curious researcher passionate about understanding the natural world. My research interests center around behavioral ecology and evolutionary biology, with a specific focus on topics like life history traits, mating systems, and conservation. Additionally, I have a keen interest in phylogenetics and biogeography.

During my academic journey, I have been involved in several significant projects. My master's dissertation focused on the nesting strategies of Yellow-wattled Lapwings, where I examined their nest concealment tactics and preferences for nest sites. I contributed to a study on speciation among two endemic skink genera, Ristella and Kaestlea, in the Western Ghats, where we explored the evolutionary complexities of these unique creatures. I also participated in a thorough analysis of understory bird populations in the montane landscapes of the Western Ghats, investigating various factors influencing their distribution. Additionally, I conducted fieldwork in the grasslands of Andhra Pradesh to assess their condition and its impact on the survival of the Great Indian Bustard and Lesser Florican.

Projects involved: Biogeography
PERSONAL AND OTHER INTERESTS:
Outside of my academic pursuits, I am an enthusiastic wildlife photographer. I love exploring the outdoors, whether hiking through forests or observing wildlife, which brings me great joy. To unwind, I indulge in reading, and watching documentaries and anime.
