The major research areas of our lab include evolutionary and behavioural ecology and conservation biology of animals. The specific interests include: life history theory, population dynamics and life-history evolution of birds, comparative approaches to study evolution of the life history traits in vertebrates, ecology and conservation of threatened and fragmented populations, wildlife–habitat relationships, biodiversity conservation in human-altered habitats, human dimensions of wildlife and conservation and conservation education. We are also interested in the evolutionary ecology of adaptive phenotypic traits and species interactions (mutualisms, predator-prey and parasite-host interactions). Read more
We have been awarded major research grants from the Department of Science & Technology, Government of India; International Foundation for Science, Sweden and INASP, UK. We welcome and seek collaborations with research groups that share similar or complementary research interests.
