Biodiversity, Systematics, and Biogeography (BioGeoSys) Lab

Our lab group works towards understanding the many fine-scale biological processes associated with the formation and maintenance of biodiversity. The main areas of our research are Systematics, Biogeography/Phylogeography and Ecology.

Research Focus

Biodiversity

The existence and maintenance of a varied range of different organisms in a particular place at a particular time.

Systematics

How different groups of organisms are evolutionarily related to each other.

Biogeography & Phylogeography

How organisms are distributed on a spatial and temporal scale and how this influences the patterns of their speciation.

Lab Bulletin

Avrajjal talks skinks!
It's been nearly a year since Dr. Avrajjal Ghosh defended his thesis. Here, he talks about the work he did during his time in BioGeoSys!
Our Past Members speak!
It has been 6 years since BioGeoSys was formed, and in that time, we have accumulated an awesome collection of alumni. Here we have them reminiscing about their time in the lab and the work they did here. This page will always be a work in progress, as we keep hearing from more of the family.
Fieldwork with a surprise: Discovering new ant species in the Western Ghats
Bikash tells the story of how he stumbled upon new ant species while working in the Western Ghats.
Onwards & Upwards!
On 30th June 2021, two of our very first M.Sc. project students, Himesh and Shagun, gave their final M.Sc. thesis presentations. It was a wonderful journey alongside them in the lab, teaching and learning at both ends.
