Despite successful bans on the veterinary drug diclofenac in Nepal and parts of India, a decade-long undercover investigation reveals that toxic alternatives like flunixin and nimesulide are rapidly replacing it, posing a renewed existential threat to the region’s critically endangered vulture populations.
The study found that feral dogs are displacing endangered Egyptian vultures from prime feeding spots at unofficial carcass dumps.
New research reveals how specially designed porous walls can significantly reduce the impact of ocean waves on floating structures, paving the way for safer and more resilient offshore engineering.
Researchers have developed a Heavy Metal Pollution Index (HMPI) for the groundwater in Kannur, Kerala, and created a spatial map of groundwater using GIS data.
IIT Bombay researchers build a new model, named AMVG, that bridges the gap between how humans prompt and how machines analyse satellite or remote sensing imagery.
Tigers are master adapters, dynamically shifting their movements to survive in landscapes shared with humans, from cautious exploration as youngsters to strategic navigation as adults.
The new study presents a method for predicting the age of the quake that caused a sand dike using a phenomenon known as luminescence dating.
A tiny, uniquely shaped diatom, Climaconeis heteropolaris, has been discovered in the estuaries of Udupi, Karnataka in India's southwestern coast, offering new insights into marine biodiversity.
Researchers from IIT Bombay propose a computationally efficient, network theory-based mathematical framework to test decentralised traffic control systems.
Researchers have conducted a detailed survey of the bamboo in the Dima Hasao district of Assam to map bamboo forests and understand the factors that contribute to their growth.
Mosquitoes are the deadliest animals on Earth, causing more human deaths than sharks, snakes, and even other humans combined. These tiny, buzzing insects, often dismissed as mere nuisances, are the primary carriers of devastating diseases like malaria, dengue, chikungunya, and Zika, which collectively claim over 700,000 lives globally every year. In India, where the tropical climate, mixed with poor water and waste management, creates the perfect environment for mosquitoes, understanding these miniature menaces is a matter of national importance.
