Introduction
An avian researcher at IISER Pune studying bird communities and long-term acoustic monitoring of threatened grasslands in India. Also interested in understanding the social dimensions of wildlife conservation and political ecology of natural resource extraction in communities. Also a freelance writer and dabble on natural history, travel, birds and conservation.

Full-text available
Although the study of bird acoustic communities has great potential to provide valuable conservation data, many aspects of their assembly and dynamics remain poorly understood. Grassland habitats in South Asia comprise distinct biomes with a unique avifauna, presenting an opportunity to address how community-level patterns in acoustic signal space...

The short communication describes how a Yellow-throated Marten was observed to raid a Great Hornbill Nest at Pakke Tiger Reserve, Arunachal Pradesh.
Poster
Full-text available
The poster aimed to highlight the difference in the sensitivity of acoustic recorders in studying and monitoring birds, with a particular focus on understanding the efficacy of low-cost passive recorders. We compared the Blue-throated Barbet (Psilogopon asiaticus- Low frequency) and the Greater Racket-tailed Drongo (Dicrurus paradiseus- High freque...
Article
Full-text available
Grasslands are contested ecosystems due to our scant understanding of their ecological and socio‐economic roles, and also due to the ambiguity in understanding what exactly constitutes them. This problem escalates in the absence of proper governance. In this paper, we explore the historical accounts of Indian grasslands to trace how they have shape...
Chapter
Full-text available
India is one of the most biodiverse countries in the world and hosts 10% of the planet’s biodiversity hotspots. In spite of this, all the major habitat types face pressure from rapid anthropogenic factors, including deforestation, habitat loss and conversion, land-use change, mega construction projects and indiscriminate hunting. Parallel to the im...
Article
Full-text available
The diversity of animal acoustic signals has evolved due to multiple ecological processes, both biotic and abiotic. At the level of communities of signaling animals, these processes may lead to diverse outcomes, including partitioning of acoustic signals along multiple axes (divergent signal parameters, signaling locations, and timing). Acoustic da...

Although the study of bird acoustic communities has great potential in long-term monitoring and conservation, their assembly and dynamics remain poorly understood. Grassland habitats in South Asia comprise distinct biomes with unique avifauna, presenting an opportunity to address how community-level patterns in acoustic signal space arise. Similari...
Article
Full-text available
Unlike humans, political and physical boundaries do not limit animals that are long ranging. However, due to political, economic and social conflicts between countries, it is the wildlife that takes a hit. This has been recognized by many countries and effective measures of trans-boundary conservation have successfully been implemented. This has no...

Free-ranging dogs are among the top global invasive species with major impacts on biodiversity and humans. Academicians in conservation or allied fields are at the forefront of investigating this conflict. But are their opinions impaired by their emotional attachment with dogs? We investigated this question through an online survey that reached 360...
