DR. RAMAKRISHNAN VASUDEVA
I am an evolutionary ecologist interested in reproductive form and function. This is realised through lab based empirical work on sexual selection and thermal biology using insects as models. Asides, I am also interested in behavioural strategies, interactive stressors on life histories.
MY LATEST RESEARCH
Some of my broad interests in evolutionary biology are, a) Sexual selection processes in speciation b) Thermal environments, plasticity and Sperm and Egg form and function; ejaculate:female interactions c) Inbreeding within small populations d) Lifespan evolution e) Thermal Adaptation and acclimation at different time scales f) Mate choice and Copulatory behaviour g) Sex-specific sensitivities to simulated conditions looking at broad scale effects on populations of varying sizes.
