  Srivastava, Manishi (Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific ResearchEvolutionary and Integrative Biology Unit (EIBU), 2019)

• Effects of selection for rapid development and early reproduction on male-female co-evolution and conflict in drosophila melanogaste 

  Mital, Avani (Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific ResearchEvolutionary and Integrative Biology Unit (EIBU), 2019)

  The process of development is central to the realization of the Darwinian fitness of any organism, as it is in this stage of the life of an organism that hereditary factors subjected to selection in the previous generations ...
• Preliminary characterisation of aggregation behaviour in drosophila melanogaster 

  Kulkarni, Rutvij (Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific ResearchEvolutionary and Integrative Biology Unit (EIBU), 2019)

  When a cat detects prey, it stalks the prey before attacking it. Prey detection, thus, causes the cat to perform a series of non-random actions to conceal itself and capture the prey. These non-random actions are repeated ...
• Probing the adaptive significance of circadian rhythms using drosophila melanogaster 

  Vasu, Sheeba (Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific ResearchEvolutionary and Integrative Biology Unit (EIBU), 2001)

  Abstract not available
• Ecological details mediate different paths to the evolution of larval competitive ability in drosophila 

  Sarangi, Manaswini (Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific ResearchEvolutionary and Integrative Biology Unit (EIBU), 2018-05-07)

  For most of their historical development as distinct fields of biology, population ecology and population genetics have remained largely separate (Kingsland 1995, Mueller 1997), even though they have had obvious overlaps ...
• Associations, dominance interactions, and musth in male Asian elephants in Nagarahole and Bandipur national parks, southern India 

  Keerthipriya, P. (Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific ResearchEvolutionary and Integrative Biology Unit (EIBU), 2018)

  This thesis examines the associations and dominance interactions of adult and subadult male Asian elephants and explores how female presence and musth affect these associations and interactions. In polygynous species, the ...
• An individual-based model for simulating the ecological and evolutionary dynamics of drosophila cultures under different scenarios of larval crowding 

  Venkitachalam, Srikant (Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific ResearchEvolutionary and Integrative Biology Unit (EIBU), 2017-03-31)

  The motivation for this simulation study is the realization in our laboratory over the past several years that experimental populations of Drosophila subjected to larval crowding every generation can actually evolve ...
• Characterizing activity-rest rhythms of three related ant species, and examining the effect of social interaction on sleep in drosophila melanogaster 

  Gupta, Goirik (Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific ResearchEvolutionary and Integrative Biology Unit (EIBU), 2016-10-17)

  The rotation of the earth about its axis and its revolution around the sun brings about daily and annual cycles in geophysical processes such as light and temperature. Almost all organisms on earth excluding those that ...
• Neurogenetic studies of the egg-laying rhythm of drosophila melanogaster 

  Chidambaram, Shambhavi (Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific ResearchEvolutionary and Integrative Biology Unit (EIBU), 2016-04-04)

  Nearly all organisms on Earth are subject, in one way or the other, to the effects of the planet’s daily rotation about its axis and need to adjust their physiology and behaviour to the daily cycling of environmental ...
• A study on the stability of circadian clocks in drosophila melanogaster populations selected for early and late emergence 

  Ratna, K. (Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific ResearchEvolutionary and Integrative Biology Unit (EIBU), 2016-04-15)
