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.

Bikash tells the story of how he stumbled upon new ant species while working in the Western Ghats.

8-legged Adventures!

Our youngest member, Ayush, is working on the Araneid fauna of the institute’s 298 acre campus. His work will provide us with a photographic database of the spiders, binding them with the specific habitats they dwell in. This resource will be used for further studies, as well as for spreading awareness about these beautiful little creatures occupying every nook and cranny they find.
