Montane grasslands in #WesternGhat are declining with invasives. @Arasu @IISERTirupati & Milind @Atree_org use #RemoteSensing to create conservation priorities for restoration of #SholaSkyIslands with @InsideNatGeo support. sciencedirect.com/science/articl… cc @TheHinduScience @Toiscience

Call for abstracts is open! Deadline is March 31st. Present your work at India's largest ecology conference. Please share in your networks! Students can apply for the Ajith Kumar Opportunity Grant as well! @AshokaUniv @wti_org_india

@Revv_India how do you get away without providing a #GST bill to a customer who books on your site? Response - 3rd party service at this location! Requested a bill 5 times. No luck. #Taxevasion? Competition @ZoomCar provides bills for 3rd party cars @GST_Council #GSTComplaints

Amazing to watch, and wonderful interactions. Very impactful overall. Our 6yo talks about the "crazy 5" otter group for several weeks after

What if birds really could talk? Dive into how bioacoustics is decoding complex bird communication,from jungle babblers’ social calls to hints of “lost” species hidden in soundscapes. Read a story on evolution & acoustic ecology! shaastramag.iitm.ac.in/special-featur… @minivets

After last year's successful basic workshop, we are back with the Advanced Bioacoustics Workshop in partnership with the K. Lisa Yang Centre for Conservation Bioacoustics, Cornell University! To apply and get more details on all the modules - skyisland.in/acousticsworks…

Young Birder Camp @IiserTirupati is back! Dec 18-22 For birders aged 14-18 ready to dive deep into bird science! ⚠️ Not for beginners - basic birding skills required 💰 Limited scholarships available 📝 Register: forms.gle/xhez7nXq4w5VPH… skyisland.in/ybc25.html

@supriyasahuias This is an amazing effort. Created locally, but impacts are global! Great vision, and wonderful execution.

From the Nilgiris to New York, Los Angeles & beyond what a fabulous journey ! The Great Elephant Migration, a travelling herd of 100 life-sized elephants sculpted from invasive lantana by over 200 tribal artisans of Gudalur in Nilgiris and Waynad, has completed a 5,000-mile, 13-month journey across the US. From New York to Beverly Hills, these elephants, each modeled on real wild individuals, carried a message of coexistence and the urgent need to remove invasives like lantana camara to save forests and wildlife.

@uramakri @BVADITIPRASAD1 @NCBS_Bangalore @RanthambhoreTR @NatGeo @Scientistinpink Congrats!!

What an amazing run it has been @BVADITIPRASAD1! No one knows the Ranthambore tiger families better! Your work is amazing, and I cant wait for the world to see it! So proud...Congratulations!

@nushiamme Congrats Anusha!

Thank you to the Maxwell-Hanrahan Foundation for this Award, and to the anonymous person who nominated me and dropped this award, unexpected, in my lap. Only five of these awards are made each year from among nominations from around the globe.

So cool to see a nice new study on Wayanad Sky Island birds by @ck_vishnudas and @HumeEcology. Perhaps the first such comprehensive study, and an important baseline! Congrats to the team! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

@Axaxia88 check out the amazing greenish? colour inside the mouth 🤩

🐦The black-naped monarch, also known as the black-naped blue flycatcher (Hypothymis azurea), is a slender and nimble songbird from the monarch flycatcher family, native to regions of southern and southeastern Asia.

@aranyaparva @oxfordsf @all3media_int @halopost @Joe_filmmaker @BrollyBrollyman @GaryMcmathmedia @BookMyLens @aranya_kfd Looking forward to this :)

We're thrilled to share with you "My Otter Diary", in association with @oxfordsf & @all3media_int A magical journey to the heart of Southern India's Cauvery River. youtu.be/73pwQGB-AGI #MyOtterDiary #otters #all3media #aranyaparvacreations #osf #cauvery #documentary #india

@IiserTirupati @EduMinOfIndia @FTLB_ tagging the Feather Library here

@IiserTirupati @EduMinOfIndia We are delighted to host Esha - a fantastic way to salvage birds that are already dead, and use them for science

Dr. Robin V from IISER Tirupati has arranged a talk by Ms. Esha Munshi, who is trained as an architect, practiced for 13 years, before starting the feather library. Today the Feather Library is one of its kind in the world, and certainly in India. @EduMinOfIndia

Last-leg of data 🤞 - (1) said goodbye to our trusty steed who saw us though 2.5 years of fieldwork; (2) if anyone caught us on their camera trap walking through the Sholas - hi to those sifting through the photos; (3) ending with an (almost😄-)all-girl-field team! 💪💪

@Torsay @eLife @NevoSagi @NakedScientists So cool!

Our work published in @eLife is now featured in a podcast! @NevoSagi spoke with @NakedScientists about how macroarthropods compensate for the reduced decomposition by microbes in warm drylands. Listen in also to find out how we did this MEGA-experiment! youtube.com/watch?v=Kve_Pw…

Great to see @IiserTirupati & @NandiniRajamani here!

@VivekNityananda Wow! congrats @VivekNityananda did not know of your book! Now on the top of my list I have been working over the last semester to make time this semester, with one goal -- I need to be able to read a fun book that is not entirely work 😀 Thanks for the nudge on my mission 😀

@KamatLab_IISER hearty congratulations! Also, that is an amazing videos of the work spaces in the life of a biologist. Videos like this can help demystify a lot of what scientists do and why we need all the facilities and equipment we have.
