Couldn’t be prouder to introduce Dr Abhishek Gopal @abhitims! The first student to graduate from the lab! He studied evolutionary and climatic drivers of species richness, composition and assembly in woody plants in the Western Ghats. More about the work: sites.google.com/view/jahnav…

🌿Excited to share our new study in New Phytologist! 🌿
Polyploidy is a major force in plant evolution, but is understudied in the tropics. We find that polyploidy arose multiple times in Inga, a characteristic Neotropical tree radiation (1/n) 🧵.

Happy to share our work on Miliusa out in JoB!
We examined the differences in richness patterns in Milusa by integrating biogeography, diversification and community phylogenetic approaches.

Happy to share our new preprint: `The rise, decline and fall of clades' with @JyAndreoletti, Daniele Silvestro and @HMorlon , where we study how the biodiversity of clades rise and fall, and the processes behind these patterns. 1/5 doi.org/10.1101/2025.03.20.6…

Last post on Twitter with the last first-author scientific paper I will publish as a researcher.
This took too many years from idea to publication but I am happy that even after stopping doing scientific research this paper managed to get done nature.com/articles/s41467-0…

I wrote a little essay about why we consider some batsmen beautiful and others not so much -- and more curiously, why there's so much unanimity on who belongs in which category.

Last January, I noticed something peculiar in my 2yo’s bedroom that - after a year of obsessive reporting - led me to a profound cosmic revelation about what’s even possible in our universe. A 🧵.

One of the first tree drought mortality studies in the tropical Western Ghats, India. We found a weak tree mortality response to a strong drought, indicating resistance. HWR, many questions remain unanswered, we call for research in S Asia.
Thanks to all co-authors!

Preprint alert 📢: Proud to share my PhD student, Pragyadeep Roy's work on examining diversification patterns and their drivers among 34 endemic lineages from peninsular India. We show that historical landscape stability and climate play key roles in diversification. @ccmb_csir
