WELCOME TO BIODIVERSITY LAB!

IndianButterflies1Biological diversity is organized at various levels, from communities and constituent species to genomes and genes. This diversity and its evolution are influenced by natural and sexual selection exerted by environmental conditions, ecological opportunities, and interactions such as competition and mutualism among and within species. Our lab consists of evolutionary biologists and ecologists who study biodiversity, its complexity and interactions at all these organizational levels, the selective processes that shape them, and the means to preserve biodiversity in the Indian Region. We especially focus on:
Speciation, Adaptation and Morphological Diversification  |  Batesian Mimicry and the Evolution of Polymorphism  |
Evolutionary Genetics of Butterfly Wing Patterns  |  Phylogeography and Conservation Genetics of Indian Butterflies

Upcoming Events
