Study shows size-selective harvesting pushes guppies to evolve faster life histories. This was done over 10 years and 14 traits. This hints at anthropogenic stressors that affect large individuals in nature more than small ones 🐟 doi.org/10.1111/eva.70253

Honoured to have delivered two talks on Climate Change to the Indian Army — the second talk followed as the first was warmly appreciated. The sessions were also streamed live to multiple Army headquarters across the country, taking the conversation far beyond the room. Seeing our armed forces engage deeply with one of the most critical challenges of our time is truly inspiring. If those who protect our nation are thinking about protecting our planet too, there is real hope. 🌍🇮🇳 #Indianarmy @moefcc @insa_academy @UNFCCC @UNDP_India @PbiUniPatiala

We report here two new species of ant genus Leptogenys from India with an updated key to 60 known species of Leptogenys from Oriental Region.These ants show nomadic behavior, cooperative raiding, hence sometimes referred to as with army ant syndrome. tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.…

The chapter on current status of world mangroves is now out as part of the Third World Ocean Assessment Report of @UN .As coordinating author of this chapter, it has been an honor to work with @Anweghosh @krishna_mangrov @alexanderkhan25 & colleagues @ITMERG1

Thanks @moefcc for clarifying that the Aravallis connect landscapes, ecosystems, and communities. Time to get rid of harebrained criteria of 100 m local relief to "define" hills and ranges that would have partitioned and fragmented this connectivity.

This is a fantastic course on evolutionary biology! I watched the lectures while these were being produced by @SutirthDey and @SMC_IISERPune I last studied bio formally in class 12th, and this brought my curiosity back to life. Sharp, engaging. Highly recommended!

World Environment Day 2026 Webinar | Adapting Biomanufacturing to Address Climate Change | #NowForClimate Dr. Praveen Karanth, Indian Institute of Science (@iiscbangalore), shared insights from his work on delimiting species boundaries among Hanuman langurs using integrative taxonomy. Highlighting the role of genetic, ecological, and morphological evidence in understanding biodiversity, he emphasized the importance of accurate species identification for conservation planning and ecosystem management. His findings underscore how modern scientific tools can help uncover hidden diversity and support evidence-based conservation strategies for India's rich wildlife heritage. #WorldEnvironmentDay #Biodiversity #WildlifeResearch #Conservation #Taxonomy @DrJitendraSingh @rajesh_gokhale @BricDbt @NABI_India @bric_ils @HydNiab @NIPGRsocial @NImmunology @BRIC_CDFD @DBT_NCCS_Pune @ICGEB @DBT_inStem @DBT_NBRC @RGCB_Trivandrum @DBT_IBSD @THSTIFaridabad @unescorcb @ICGEBNewDelh @BIRAC_2012 @moefcc

#newspeciesalert New moss species discovered in Uttarakhand Scientists from the @bsi_moefcc have discovered a rare new moss species, Indopottia himalayensis, at 1,900 meters in Uttarakhand's Madhyamaheshwar region. Found clinging to soil-covered rocks, this 13mm plant marks only the third known species of its genus globally, differing from its tree-dwelling cousins in southern India and Thailand.

Excited to share our latest publication! We report the first record of the Rusty-spotted Cat ( Prionailurus rubiginosus ) from the National Chambal Sanctuary—a significant addition to its known distribution, highlighting hidden biodiversity in a well-known landscape! doi.org/10.11609/jott.10243.… #WildlifeResearch #RustySpottedCat #Conservation #Biodiversity #NationalChambalSanctuary @moefcc @V_kolipakam @wii_india @NationalCAMPA @CAMPA_Dolphin
