Our paper came out in Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences :) royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/abs/10.109… Many thanks to all the co-authors for help in seeing this through! @Jahnavijoshi2 @BhartiDpuram @ccmb_csir

🌿Excited to share our new study in New Phytologist! 🌿 Polyploidy is a major force in plant evolution, but is understudied in the tropics. We find that polyploidy arose multiple times in Inga, a characteristic Neotropical tree radiation (1/n) 🧵. 🔗 tinyurl.com/msnffhs8

This work was in collaboration with Navendu Page and @Jahnavijoshi2, and others who helped with the data generation and different facets of this study. @ccmb_csir

Happy to share our work on Miliusa out in JoB! We examined the differences in richness patterns in Milusa by integrating biogeography, diversification and community phylogenetic approaches. researchgate.net/publication/39… #Miliusa #Annonaceae #WesternGhats

The first Chapter of my PhD thesis supervised by @Jahnavijoshi2 is finally out in Ecology Letters. Here's the link to the article - onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/el…

The deadline is 25th July!

Happy to share our new preprint: `The rise, decline and fall of clades' with @JyAndreoletti, Daniele Silvestro and @HMorlon , where we study how the biodiversity of clades rise and fall, and the processes behind these patterns. 1/5 doi.org/10.1101/2025.0…

Last post on Twitter with the last first-author scientific paper I will publish as a researcher. This took too many years from idea to publication but I am happy that even after stopping doing scientific research this paper managed to get done nature.com/articles/s4146…

@BiangSyiem @dv_conservinit @varunrgoswami Many congrats Biang :)

A huge thank you to my supervisors Don Driscoll, @dv_conservinit and @varunrgoswami for guiding me through this journey! Also, huge thanks to my amazing field team Ban, Wallam and San for their dedication!

I wrote a little essay about why we consider some batsmen beautiful and others not so much -- and more curiously, why there's so much unanimity on who belongs in which category. Cameos: Steve Waugh, David Gower, Mike Brearley, and more! [1] ft.com/content/1ea1d8…

@ccmb_csir @SomdattaKarak @MongabayIndia @_GopiKrishnan Congrats :)

From collecting better data on the effects of invasive fishes on ecosystems, identifying priority species to developing ways of monitoring and managing them - India needs to step up on all fronts. Gopi Krishnan and @SomdattaKarak write for @MongabayIndia. india.mongabay.com/2024/02/commen…

Last January, I noticed something peculiar in my 2yo’s bedroom that - after a year of obsessive reporting - led me to a profound cosmic revelation about what’s even possible in our universe. A 🧵.

One of the first tree drought mortality studies in the tropical Western Ghats, India. We found a weak tree mortality response to a strong drought, indicating resistance. HWR, many questions remain unanswered, we call for research in S Asia. Thanks to all co-authors! @DenisRValle

Congratulations to the early-career scientists that presented their work at the #ATBC2023 Meeting in Coimbatore and won the Best Presentation Awards! To learn more about their work: tropicalbiology.org/blog/2023/09/2…

We present the 2023 ATBC Seed Research Grant winners. Thanks to the generous support from the @MaxwellHanrahan Foundation, we were able to expand our program considerably this year. Congratulations to all! tropicalbiology.org/grants-awards/…

Preprint alert 📢: Proud to share my PhD student, Pragyadeep Roy's work on examining diversification patterns and their drivers among 34 endemic lineages from peninsular India. We show that historical landscape stability and climate play key roles in diversification. @ccmb_csir
