Congratulations to Devu B. Kumar, a 5th-year BS-MS student, for winning the @DAAD_Germany scholarship to pursue the International Graduate School of Neuroscience at Ruhr University, Germany.
Congrats to Ullasa Kodandaramaiah and @tarunyumnam for their recent publication in "Proceedings of the Royal Society B".
Our false head work is out! By analysing ~1000 butterflies, we found many traits at posterior end of hindwings evolved correlatedly, likely forming a trait complex w/adaptive function to dupe predators into thinking these traits together are actual head!! royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/rs…
📢Applications Open! Applications are now open for the first course under the Indica School of Field Ecology and Conservation, offered in partnership with @bio_iisertvm @tvmiiser "Arthropod Ecology and Taxonomy 2025" 📍 IISER TVM 🔗Link to Apply: bit.ly/4lrGhGy
📢We are excited to launch the Indica School of Field Ecology and Conservation, generously supported by a grant from the Murty Trust! It aims to provide immersive, field-based training for PhD students, early-career researchers, conservation practitioners, & forest managers.🧵👇
🎉 The AllGenetics–EMPSEB Award for Best Oral Presentation goes to Tarunkishwor Yumnam - @tarunyumnam for his brilliant work on the evolution of the butterfly “false head”! 🦋👏 Big thanks to @AllGenetics for supporting emerging science talent! 💙
The last date for applying to the RPWS-2025 program has been extended to 31st July 2025. Urging all the master's students to make use of this opportunity. iisertvm.ac.in/news/read/news…
