Sciurid Lab

The 9th International Squirrel Colloquium will be organised in India in 2025. The colloquium will serve as a platform for the diverse global community of squirrel biologists to come together to discuss their research, network, and discuss conservation issues concerning tree, ground and flying squirrels from anywhere in the world.

In this research group, we study the behavioural ecology and evolutionary biology of animal populations, often within the context of environmental and habitat change. We work across multiple landscapes in India, including the Trans-Himalayas, Western, and Eastern Ghats. Our model system involves species from the squirrel family (Sciuridae) but also extends to the Pikas (Ochotonidae). We also encourage public participation in squirrel data-gathering, through our citizen science initiatives. More about what we do is here.

This research group is based out of the Biology Department at IISER Tirupati.
