Distribution, activity budget and feeding ecology of Himalayan gray langur (Semnopithecus ajax) in Kashmir Himalaya
Colobines are group of primates known to inhabit harsh environments. These habitats pose different challenges which they have coped up physiologically and behaviourally. Primates in such environments are subjected to ...
Systematics and Comparative Biogeography of Vine Snakes (Genus: Ahaetulla, Family: Colubridae) and Pit vipers (Genus: Trimeresurus, Family: Viperidae) in Peninsular India
The Indian subcontinent is a considered a mega biodiverse region with representative regions
belonging to three of the 35 global biodiversity hotspots, including the Western Ghats in
Peninsular India and the Eastern ...
Intrasexual competition in females of a socially polygynous lizard, Psammophilus dorsalis
Competition between individuals of the same sex, intrasexual competition, has received much attention in males, mainly because such competition, which is primarily for mates (i.e. sexual selection), often selects for ...
Dynamic colour change in Psammophilus dorsalis: role of natural and sexual selection
Overall, the results from this study support the idea that animal signals arise from a balance between increased conspicuousness for social signalling and inconspicuousness to avoid predation risk. Animals that can change ...
Deciphering the genetic regulators of cuticle barrier function and longevity in Caenorhabditis elegans
Ever since Sydney Brenner introduced Caenorhabditis elegans in the early 60s as a
model system, this worm has contributed to many ground-breaking discoveries in
science. It has served as an excellent model to study animal ...
Functional Characterization of CG9650 in development of the Indirect Flight Muscles of Drosophila melanogaster
Muscle development is a complex and multifactorial process involving assembly of thousands of proteins in a precise and synchronized manner over the course of development of an organism. Multiple genes and signalling ...
Crystallographic and analytical ultracentrifugation studies of the E. coli acetohydroxy acid synthase I enzyme
This thesis ellucidates the mechanism of activation and regulation of AHAS I
enzyme from Escherichia coli that was characterised using crystallographic and
sedimentation velocity analytical ultracentrifugation studies.
AHAS ...
Elucidating the mechanism of interaction of Salmonella with plants
Salmonella, is an established pathogen of members of the kingdom Animalia. Its principal
species S. enterica serovars Typhi, Paratyphi and Typhimurium can cause various diseases
ranging from typhoid fever to gastroenteritis ...
The Molecular Basis for the Differential Antibiotic Susceptibility of Mycobacterial Subpopulations
Mycobacterial populations have evolved various strategies to withstand diverse stress
conditions in the environment. One among these strategies is maintenance of phenotypic
heterogeneity, in terms of cell morphology, ...
Embryonic Expression of Cytokines: Functional Role of Il-1β During Blastocyst Hatching
The detailed investigation on the embryo-endometrial cytokine expression, in both mouse and hamster, was carried out during the peri-hatching development and it is described in chapter
2. We hypothesize that, for a ...
