Influence of Burn Severity on Avifaunal Communities in Southern Tropical Dry Deciduous Forest, Western Ghats

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
Effects of burn severity [pyrodiversity] on avian community were studied in a tropical deciduous forest of Western Ghats. Bird community composition varied significantly across burn severity classes and the pyrodiversity‐biodiversity hypothesis was supported. Functional guilds showed contrasting patterns in the postfire environment.

Uncovering correlates of decline and critical refuges for a threatened terrestrial mammal

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract Globally, the geographic ranges of numerous species are contracting. Identifying spatiotemporal patterns of threat impact can illuminate why species decline in some parts of their range but persist in others. We developed a correlative approach to identify species’ response thresholds and locate ecological refuge areas associated with ...

Transcriptome Analysis of Young Ovaries Reveals Candidate Genes Involved in Gamete Formation in Lantana camara

open access: yesPlants, 2019
Lantana (Lantana camara L., Verbenaceae) is an important ornamental crop, yet can be a highly invasive species. The formation of unreduced female gametes (UFGs) is a major factor contributing to its invasiveness and has severely hindered the development ...

No evidence of a decoy effect in bees: Rewardless flowers do not increase bumblebees' preference for neighbouring flowers

open access: yesEcological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 4, Page 799-809, August 2026.
Many plants retain nectarless flowers; we tested whether these act as “decoys” for bees by making neighbouring rewarding flowers seem more valuable—a cognitive bias known as the decoy effect. The presence of decoy flowers did not shift bumblebee preferences between two equally rewarding inflorescences, and bees quickly learned to avoid these nectarless
