Our paper in Biological Conservation presents the first-ever overview of research trends on freshwater megafauna in India, highlighting the most urgent priorities for research, policy, and conservation.

Meghavi Purohit talked on Rules, Reversals, or Exceptions? Morphological Responses of Mayfly Nymphs across Elevational Gradients in Eastern Himalayan Streams. How do Indian Himalayan mayflies shape-shift with altitude? Explore the morphological variation of mayfly nymphs across Eastern Himalayan streams. Dive into the details! #EasternHimalaya #FreshwaterEcology #GeometricMorphometrics #AquaticInsects @PurohitMeghavi, @jajohny2013, @Vineet_Climate, @Aashna_wildlife @moefcc @wii_india @SACONCoimbatore @GobindsagarBha1 @RuchiBadola2 #IARS2025

Himangshu Borah talked on Life History traits and Reproductive Biology of Snow Trout in the selected Himalayan Rivers. Life in fast-flowing Himalayan rivers! Our study on snow trout (Schizothorax richard sonii) reveals seasonal shifts in growth, body condition & breeding. Males mature at 18.9 cm, females at 23.6 cm — monsoon boosts energy! #Ecology #Himalaya #Conservation @moefcc @wii_india @SACONCoimbatore @GobindsagarBha1 @Vineet_Climate @PurohitMeghavi @jajohny2013 @Aashna_wildlife #IARS2025

@Aashna_wildlife @ScienceMagazine @asharmapti Heartfelt congratulations, @Aashna_wildlife , Your beautiful portrayal of the mother-daughter bond will surely inspire many. Proud to see such love and connection celebrated between us

A scientist’s journey is shaped as much by data as by love, roots, and resilience Grateful to be featured by @ScienceMagazine, sharing how my mother, Mrs. Sushma Sharma shaped my path My conservation voice from India 🔗 science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… 📸 Pic: My father @asharmapti

From stealthy stalkers to elusive climbers — big and small cats share India’s wild spaces, each perfectly tuned to their habitat. This poster by Naitik Patel captures their diversity and the landscapes they call home. #WildCatsOfIndia @moefcc @wii_india @ntca_india @IBCA_official @bhlab_india @SPYadavIFS @rameshpandeyifs @GobindsagarBha1 @vrtiwari1

@iccon_india @wii_india @wildwithwolves Great study by Urjit Bhat..congratulations!

Urjit Bhatt Topic: Temporal partitioning in carnivore guilds • The study was based on magnificent #Manas, a famous #BiodiversityHotspot • He records 34 mammalian species over there. • Despite high temporal overlap, sympatric carnivores segregate during the peak hour of activity. • Large carnivores were found to be cathemeral, while small carnivores were either nocturnal or diurnal to avoid their larger counterparts. • Showed interesting findings on the differential impacts of the Lunar cycle on the activity of various mammals in the landscape. @urjit_bhatt #ICCON_2025 #HabitatEcology #AnimalBehaiviour #biodiversity @moefcc @wii_india @ntca_india @IBCA_official @vrtiwari1 @SACONCoimbatore @rameshpandeyifs @SPYadavIFS @GobindsagarBha1 @wildwithwolves @jwls_in @V_kolipakam @CentralIfs

Session -III Bears and Beyond: Understanding Carnivore and Primate Ecology 3rd presentation -Debranjan Laha Bear Minimum: Habitat Correlates of Bear Occupancy in Northeast India – Deb Ranjan Laha 🔹 Study highlights threats like poaching, habitat loss, and trade; NE India hosts 3 bear species including the rare Sun Bear. 🔹 Using camera traps and occupancy models, estimated presence was highest for Asiatic black bear , followed by Sun bear and Sloth bear through various occupancy modelling approach with dynamic use of remote sensing and GIS #BlackBear #SunBear #SlothBear #NorthEast #MultiSpeciesOccupancy #LandscapeEcology #Iccon2025 #CameraTrapRS #Virahi_Yaksha @moefcc @wii_india @ntca_india @IBCA_official @vrtiwari1 @SACONCoimbatore @rameshpandeyifs @SPYadavIFS @GobindsagarBha1 @wildwithwolves @jwls_in @V_kolipakam @CentralIfs

Meghavi Purohit gave a talk on Himalayan micro invertebrates highlighting their Trait-Environment dynamics. She shared insights on association of functional feeding groups with environment and how they respond to latitudinal and longitudinal gradients. @wii_india #ICCON_2025 @PurohitMeghavi @Vineet_Climate @Aashna_wildlife @jajohny2013 @moefcc @wii_india @ntca_india @IBCA_official @vrtiwari1 @SACONCoimbatore @rameshpandeyifs @SPYadavIFS @GobindsagarBha1 @wildwithwolves @jwls_in @V_kolipakam @CentralIfs

📢 Happy to share our new paper in @JAppliedEcology on the status of plant invasions and restoration priorities in India. ‼️Around 66% natural areas in India are invaded‼️ besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11… @ntca_india @wii_india @BiochangeAU @EconovoAU

Just shared our ongoing fieldwork in The Applied Ecologist Blog series. Join the journey and explore this blog post for the 'scenes behind' aquatic data logger deployment in the captivating Himalayan streams. Stay tuned! #Fieldwork #himalayas

The #NNCG approved a MSc in Freshwater Ecology to be run by the Ganga Aqualife Conservation Monitoring Centre at WII. The MSc is first and one of its kind in India. It would offer students insight into the nuances of freshwater ecology and the food-water-energy nexus as well.

I have spent many hours trying countless AI tools. Truth is, most will have you losing time instead of making you productive. If you're doing research, here are the top five tools that I currently recommend 👇
