Divergent venoms among two closely related co-distributed centipede species, Scolopendra morsitans and S. hardwickei in tropical Asia

This study compares venom composition between two closely related centipede species in peninsular India, finding significant differences in toxin abundance and protein repertoires.

Biogeography and cryptic diversity of the ancient centipede genus Digitipes (Scolopendromorpha) in South and Southeast Asia

This study investigates the historical biogeography of the centipede genus Digitipes in South and Southeast Asia, revealing hidden diversity and dispersal patterns.

De novo genome assemblies of threatened Asian hornbills (Bucerotidae) reveal declining population trajectories during the late Pleistocene

This study presents de novo genome assemblies for four Asian hornbill species and estimates their Pleistocene population declines due to climate fluctuations.

Frugivore species richness influences dietary specialisation and network properties in Asian wet tropical forests

This study examines how frugivore species richness affects dietary specialisation and plant-frugivore network properties in tropical forests.

Spatial patterns of diversity in forest birds of peninsular India

The paper analyzes spatial patterns of forest bird diversity in peninsular India, identifying hotspots and factors influencing diversity.

In-situ diversification and regional attributes shape asymmetric diversity of Miliusa (Annonaceae) in tropical Asia.

This study investigates the biogeography and speciation patterns of Miliusa in tropical Asia, finding that in-situ speciation and regional climatic factors shape its asymmetric diversity.

Comparing the genetic diversity of two threatened Rhyticeros hornbill species with contrasting geographic range sizes

The paper compares genetic diversity between two hornbill species, finding the island-endemic Narcondam Hornbill has significantly lower genetic diversity than the Wreathed Hornbill.

Effects of frugivore species pool and seed size on the diversity and functional composition of frugivores visiting fruiting trees

The paper examines how frugivore species richness and seed size affect frugivore visitation and functional traits on fruiting trees, finding that seed size has a stronger influence than species richness.

A passage through India: the biotic ferry model supports the build-up of Indo-Australian biodiversity of an ancient soil arthropod clade

The paper reconstructs the biogeographic history of Scutigeromorpha, finding that in-situ diversification in the Peninsular Indian Plate and dispersal events explain the distribution of extant species, with a single dispersal event generating most of Australia's diversity.
