The second chapter of my PhD is now available as a preprint! We sampled and plant interactions across a ~20° latitudinal gradient across the Indian subcontinent to test the biotic interactions hypothesis for mutualism. Check it out!

Register for this by Feb 20 if you're interested in attending!

Registration fee: Rs. 0
We might have some merch for optional purchase if you liked the poster :)

🌺Flowering plants engage in protection, via extrafloral nectaries (EFNs) and pollination mutualisms. Although protective ants can repel pollinators, ants have a low impact on pollination, but it depends on EFN location and type of flower visitor.🐜 👉https://t.co/PxAKPmTaCk

Fun to see our paper 'Seed dispersal by kleptoparasitic flies' out in @CurrentBiology

We provide the first demonstration of flies playing an important seed dispersal role -- and this might be widespread in South East Asia and Africa

Delighted to share the outcome of a 10y long project – published today in @ScienceMagazine !

This study unveils how multipartner symbioses between aggressive insect partners can be stable.

Our false head work is out! By analysing ~1000 butterflies, we found many traits at posterior end of hindwings evolved correlatedly, likely forming a trait complex w/adaptive function to dupe predators into thinking these traits together are actual head!! https://t.co/OpkT8p0CvL

Obviously using chatbots makes you more dumb, everyone is skipping over the funniest part: the study authors are such dedicated LLM haters they set up traps to expose AI users lol

Our latest research shows spot-on flea treatments on dogs are released into water when dogs swim even 28 days after treatment - in contrast to the label which suggests dogs can safely swim 48 h after treatment.

Mosquitoes drink nectar (not just blood), but do they prefer certain plants? A new research review shows mosquitoes do indeed have nectar preferences.
