Dear Team YETI,
Greetings from the Team Speleological Association of India!
I kindly request you to share the below invite with your network, thank you!
Dear All,
Across the globe, some 300 (7%) of the extant species of mammals belonging
to 54 (5%) genera and representing 10 (7.5%) families of four mammalian
orders spend most of their lives in moist and dark, climatically stable,
oxygen-poor and carbon dioxide-rich, self-constructed underground burrows,
deprived of most sensory cues available above ground. Although at least
some of the underground dwellers have been known for many years, their
biology has remained unstudied. As part of celebrating the International
year of caves and karst (IYCK), let's understand the dynamics of unique
subterranean ecosystems- BURROWS, on *20th July 2022, at 6 PM (IST) * through
a webinar on "*Burrows- Peek into life underground*" by Dr. Aditi
Mukherjee.
Dr. Aditi works as a Scientist in the Extension Division at Sálim Ali
Centre for Ornithology and Natural History. With specific interests in
mammalogy, herpetology, and behavioral ecology. She has contributed
significant information on burrow use patterns, notably by the Indian
crested porcupine, the largest rodent species in India during her Ph.D.
Currently, she is involved in drafting a State level Action Plan for
Rajasthan, India, and is working on Indian Rock-Python in Rajasthan and
Madhya Pradesh.
Date and Time: *20 July 2022, 6 PM IST*
