People : We are a small group of people working in a small lab but large stretches of forest. We work on the amphibians of India. We seek to understand patterns of species diversity, reproductive biology and evolutionary diversification of Indian amphibians. These facilitate conservation prioritization which in turn will contribute to the development of appropriate conservation strategies.

Research : Though we have made field visits to North East India and the Eastern Ghats, our focus has not shifted from the Western Ghats. Recently, our interest has diversified into other regions too. We find that we need to move into other regions in order to address some issues relating to biogeography and a number of issues relating to taxonomic ambiguity. We are currently working in the Western Ghats, Eastern Ghats, Satpura range and Northeastern India. Rich diversity, extraordinary endemism and shared evolutionary relationships with other biogeographical regions are some of the highlights of India.
