About

Behavioural ecology in anuran amphibians is my key area of research. I looked at two ancient anuran families in the Western ghats with respect to their breeding behaviour. Reproductive character displacement, sexual dichromatism, multimodal communication are other topics that interests me. I also work on landscape dynamics, distribution modelling and citizen science initiatives.
