      • Game of Thrones : Direct Fitness through Nest Foundation in the Primitively Eusocial Wasp Ropalidia Marginata 

        Brahma, Anindita (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 ...
      • Ground-dwelling arthropods across human land use: Interpreting the spatial and temporal dimensions of beta diversity 

        Baidya, Pronoy
        This study investigates beta diversity and its partitions to quantify the influence of different processes that drive spatial and temporal variation in ground-dwelling arthropod assemblages. First, ant assemblages across ...
      • Habitat Acoustics And Microhabitat Selection In An Ensiferan Assemblage Of A Tropical Evergreen Forest │ 

        Jain, Manjari (2013-08-29)
        Several animals, both vertebrate and invertebrate, communicate using sound and they do so in a non-ideal medium, the habitat in which they live. As acoustic signals pass through the habitat, they suffer loss of information ...
      • Host Location in Non-pollinating Fig Wasps of Ficus Racemosa : Age, Oviposition History and the Ovipositor 

        Yadav, Pratibha
        The fig–fig wasp system is a brood site pollination system where pollinators breed inside an enclosed globular inflorescence (syconium) that they pollinate. This pollination mutualism is subjected to exploitation by the ...
      • The influence of landscape composition on butterfly populations: A behavioural ecological approach 

        Jambhekar, Ravi Madhav
        Overall, taking behavioural ecological and trait-based approaches, my study suggests that the distribution of a species and patterns in its population densities in a landscape are affected by diverse ecological variables, ...
      • Insights into an Evolutionary Radiation : Causes And Consequences of Diversification in the Western Ghats Bush Frogs 

        Vijayakumar, S P (2017-10-26)
        One of the biggest attractions of the tropics is its stunning diversity; the origin and determinants of this diversity are amongst the most important questions in evolution and biogeography. There are two ways of looking ...
      • Intrasexual competition in females of a socially polygynous lizard, Psammophilus dorsalis 

        Ranade, Devica
        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 ...
      • Intrinsic Noise in Collective Dynamics 

        Jhawar, Jitesh
        Animal groups exhibit many emergent properties that are a consequence of local interactions. Linking individual-level behaviour to group-level dynamics has been a question of fundamental interest from both biological and ...
      • Investigating Pattern Recognition And Bi-coordinate Sound Localization in the Tree Cricket Species Oecanthus Henryi 

        Bhattacharya, Monisha (2017-09-20)
        Acoustic communication, used by a wide variety of animals, consists of the signaler, the signal and the receiver. A change in the behaviour of the receiver after reception of the signal is a prerequisite for communication. ...
      • Investigating the Impact of Habitat Disturbance and the Role of Functional Traits in a Tropical Butterfly Assemblage 

        Suman, Attiwilli (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 ...
      • Large Herbivore Dung Decomposition: Effects on Nutrient Cycling in a Tropical Forest of Southern India 

        Chaudhary, Ekta
        Large herbivores can selectively feed on nutrient rich resources, resulting in regular deposition of high quality organic matter in the form of dung. In tropical forests such as in southern India it is estimated that large ...
      • Lineage delimitation and diversification in Nyctibatrachus, an endemic frog genus from the Western Ghats 

        Torsekar, Varun R
        Determining how biodiversity is produced and maintained remains one of the fundamental questions in ecology. The phenomenon of diversification, which occurs via the interplay of speciation and extinction, holds the key ...
      • Local Interactions, Spatial Patterns and Ecosystem Stability 

        Sankaran, Sumithra
        Many ecosystems exhibit striking patterns in the spatial distribution of organisms, for example, patterns of clumping and dispersion in semi-arid vegetation, mussel in intertidal beds and even sea-grass and macroalgae. ...
      • Mate Choice, Mate Sampling And Baffling Behaviour In The Tree Cricket Oecanthus henryi 

        Deb, Rittik (2017-07-12)
        Among the different sensory modalities that play a role in sexual selection, acoustic communication plays an important one. Acoustic communication has been known to be used for male-male competition (territory maintenance, ...
      • Mathematical and Computational Modelling Investigations of the Role of Trait Variation in Savanna-Woodland Bistable systems 

        Randhawa, Tanveen
        Over the last decade, several studies have shown the importance of individual variation in natural populations. Theoretical ecological studies are beginning to incorporate trait variations in models, but they continue to ...
      • Modelling Spatial Patterns of Landsacape Dynamics 

        Aithal, Bharath H (2017-11-23)
        Landscape is a heterogeneous collection of visibly distinct features of various elements of land and its various forms on the earth surface. Its pattern is subjected to disturbances and undergo rapid alterations in its ...
      • Molecular Ecology of the Primitively Eusocial Wasp Ropalidia Marginata : Relatedness, Queen Succession and Population Genetics 

        Chakraborty, Saikat (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 ...
      • Multimodal Duetting and Pair Formation in a Paleotropical False Leaf Katydid, Onomarchus uninotatus 

        Nair, Aswathy
        The spectacular diversity in the pair-formation strategies among animal groups has attracted the attention of many over the years. The roots of this diversity lie in the diversity of challenges that males and females face ...
      • On Trait Evolution in a Heterogeneous Environment: Oviposition Site Selection in a Mosquito in Response to Multiple Risk Factors 

        Sharma, Manvi
        A focus in evolutionary biology is to understand the drivers of diversity in animal behavioural traits in the living world. Animals facing similar problems in the environment, such as the problem of how much to invest in ...
      • Patterns and Drivers of Multimodal Signalling in Diurnal Geckos 

        Kabir, Md Shakilur
        Effective communication in animals comprise emission of a signal by a signaller and a response by a receiver, such that the interaction is beneficial to either only the signaller, or both the signaller and the receiver. ...
