Systematics, Phylogeny And Acoustic Evolution In Field Crickets (Orthoptera, Grylloidea, Gryllinae)
(2018-03-06)
Since several decades, field crickets of the subfamily Gryllinae under order Orthoptera have been used as a model group by researchers working in the field of neuroethology, behavioural ecology and bioacoustics. Subfamily ...
Queen Succession in the Primitively Eusocial Wasp Ropalidia Marginata
(2018-01-04)
Social insects are the most dominant terrestrial fauna for the last 50 million years. This tremendous ecological success is accompanied by the fact that sociality has evolved multiple times independently and achieved highest ...
Epigenetic Modulators of Glioma : From miRNAs to Chromatin Modifiers
(2018-02-20)
The glial cells of the brain and the peripheral nervous system retain the capacity to divide and proliferate throughout the lifespan of an individual and thereby have the propensity to give rise to the most adult neurological ...
Response of Mycobacterium Tuberculosis to Rifampicin - A Cellular, Molecular, and Ultrastructural Study
(2018-02-15)
Tee PhD thesis presents the study of the response of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the causative agent of tuberculosis, upon prolonged exposure to lethal concentrations of the first line anti-tuberculosis drug, rifampicin. ...
Regulation and Characterization of Transcription Factor Activator Protein-2 Alpha (AP-2α)
(2018-02-11)
Introduction
AP2α is a 52 kDa retinoic acid inducible and developmentally regulated activator of
transcription, which binds to the DNA in a sequence-specific manner. Transcription factor AP-2α was isolated from HeLa cells ...
Molecular Ecology of the Primitively Eusocial Wasp Ropalidia Marginata : Relatedness, Queen Succession and Population Genetics
(2018-06-08)
Altruism is defined as a trait in an individual that increases some other individual’s fitness at the expense of her own. Therefore, existence of such traits in a population is an evolutionary paradox, as natural selection ...
Stress Physiology of Free-ranging Asian Elephants (Elephas maximus) : Influence of Ecological and Anthropogenic Stressors
(2018-07-09)
Various ecological and human-induced disturbances play an important role in defining the health of an animal. To cope up with such threats or challenges to its homeostasis, an animal responds by secreting stress hormones ...
Investigating the Impact of Habitat Disturbance and the Role of Functional Traits in a Tropical Butterfly Assemblage
(2018-07-09)
Tropical habitats face a diverse range of anthropogenic threats. Two common and important threats to tropical biodiversity are invasive species and roads. Invasive plants are proposed to be a major threat to biodiversity ...
Game of Thrones : Direct Fitness through Nest Foundation in the Primitively Eusocial Wasp Ropalidia Marginata
(2018-07-09)
Reproduction is the avenue for gaining direct fitness. But in certain species some individuals do not reproduce, instead gain indirect fitness by helping relatives to reproduce; the prime examples for this come from the ...
Understanding Patterns of Bird Species Distribution in the Western Ghats
(2018-06-23)
Macroecology is the study of relationships between organisms and the environment at large spatial and temporal scales. This field of research examines patterns in species abundance, distribution and diversity. Understanding ...
