The group is interested in investigating the processes determining origin, evolution and diversification of species and communities. We bring together many scientific disciplines such as geology, historical and statistical biogeography, traditional taxonomy, climatic modelling, comparative phylogenetics and community ecology to understand the processes determining biodiversity pattern across space and time. The group members work across diverse landscapes starting from high elevation alpine ecosystem to the low elevation tropical rain forest located in two global biodiversity hotspots: Eastern Himalayas and Western Ghats-Sri Lanka hotspot. We work across diversity of flora and fauna.
