Deeply saddened by the passing of Dr. S. Shivaji, a visionary scientist, mentor, and a driving force behind the establishment of LaCONES, CSIR-CCMB. His pioneering contributions to wildlife conservation and microbial ecology will continue to inspire generations. RIP, sir. #CSIR

A collaborative project that examined gibbons' long arms, phylogeny, and revealed how climate has shaped the history of gibbon evolution.@CSIR_IND

Thanks to the mentors and colleagues at CSIR-CCMB for this recognition!!!!

Many congratulations to @gupathy for being elected as the Fellow of National Academy of Sciences for 2025. @CSIR_IND

Recent study from @gupathy's lab finds that human presence in tiger habitats is affecting the gut health of India’s wild tigers. They studied tigers of Corbett, Kanha and Bandhavgarh, Tadoba and Periyar. More details here: https://t.co/0eeVo0MmY5 @CSIR_IND

Introducing the "CMC," -CCMB microscopy course. Top scientists Lectures, hands on training and theory by industry leaders. There will be very limited seats as we want to deliver the best. May be just 15. Please register ASAP.

What makes the brain size of primate species? Using whole genome data from 50 species of loristo chimpanzees, we found that higher-quality diets (fruits) require more energy to grow and maintain metabolically expensive brains. @CSIR_IND https://t.co/goGwDQRoXV.

Never give up . In sports and in life!! Vamos! ⭐️

As part of intl collab, this review, published in Nature Reviews Biodiversity, brings out genetic diversity & evol. of non-human primates and the urgency of conserving genetically diverse primates amid habitat loss and climate change. https://t.co/RghqFOYMD5

"The untimely demise of Dr. Ajith Kumar, who conducted seminal research on the lion tailed macaques of these forests in 1987 has rendered both the forests that he loved and the wildlife conservation community in India, silent." https://t.co/QMD6EqccqW

He was my lifetime mentor and guide! He also mentored many researchers in India, and he was a wonderful human being and an excellent ecologist!

@gupathy @CSIR_IND @Mihir_Tri @ShivakumaraManu The study highlights the need for species-specific conservation plans in the current times of yet another ongoing climate change. https://t.co/4hU5vWHJW5 3/3

@gupathy @CSIR_IND @Mihir_Tri @ShivakumaraManu Their study shows that some of these species originated in this region and others migrated from Southeast Asia. They also found that some of the species populations declined when the climates changed whereas some even increased. 2/3

#NewResearch Recent study by @gupathy's lab reminds us that climate is key to how populations of different organisms grow. They studied population history of nine primate species found in Northeast India during two climatic periods - Pliocene and Pleistocene. 1/3 @CSIR_IND

Mass turtle nesting underway in Odisha, India Approximately 300,000 olive ridley turtles have arrived on the coast of Odisha for their annual mass nesting phenomenon, a remarkable spectacle of nature.

What a sight! Nature is always amazing.

Hangul deer live in Kashmir Himalayas. As part of the National Mission on Himalayan Studies, CCMB scientists have studied their reproductive patterns and physiology to aid in Hangul conservation. @CSIR_IND @gupathy
