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/…

Daak time!
We coexist with million other life forms. This requires strategies. Here are some stories of pathogens and our cells trying to outdo each other, of why need better snake antivenom and how human populations always evolve into newer forms.

Many Congratulations to @pragy_r on receiving the Society for the Study of Evolution's Rosemary Grant Advanced Award. He studies diversification patterns and processes in peninsular India across space and time using phylogenetic comparative methods. @ccmb sites.google.com/view/jahnav…

@Jahnavijoshi2's lab studied two closely related centipede species, Scolopendra morsitans and S. hardwickei. These coexist across peninsular India. They asked a simple question: Do closely related centipede species, coexisting in nature, have similar venom?

The month ends and here are stories to look into the details of chemical modifications on DNA to changes happening to our biosphere with changing climate, and yet, on the resilience of life - in this month's Daak.

Thank you, @India_Alliance, for generous funding! And all the co-authors @KarunakarMajh10 @pragy_r, Richard @AniruddhaM11371 & @evolriffs

Predatory venoms differ between the two coexisting, closely related centipede species with similar body sizes. Now we need to figure out what it means for the species' ecology. Thank you, @ccmb_csir, for all the support & @India_Alliance for funding!

We gave multiple talks across symposia and poster sessions! Had a Special Interest Group discussion on Macroecology and Macroevolution research in India. Many thanks to the organisers & volunteers for an awesome conference, Shivani Krishna, @manvigsharma, @Megs59801921 & others

Well done @Aditi_sinha_11 !!
We had an un-BEE-lievably fun time with PhD researcher Aditi Sinha as we took a deep dive into the world of venomous animals.
We learned why stings hurt, how centipedes work, and the difference between venom and poison!🐍🦂🧪

@Aditi_sinha_11 will be talking about her work on centipedes and their venoms, do join!

Read on Karthikeyan Vasudevan and his team's efforts that are finding rare frogs in unknown locations in India: amphibios.app/articles/purpl…
This calls for a larger community to protect these habitats. More frogs is good for humans+other organisms in the ecosystem.

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.
