Part I:

"Around 200 years back, Darwin set out on his historic voyage around the world, observing and cataloguing the immense diversity the world had to offer, he laid down the foundation for a theory that shook the foundation of biology, the theory of evolution out of which was born the field of evolutionary ecology which tries to unravel the countless puzzles of life nature has to offer.

Acoustic Synchrony in Complex Calls

Synchrony between individuals or even non-living entities is one of the most striking natural phenomena: from clock pendulums that move in phase to fireflies that flash their light signals together and light up entire trees to crickets, katydids, cicadas and frogs that produce loud, synchronous acoustic choruses. The synchronising calls of species that have been hitherto investigated are however typically simple sound chirps or light flashes that are produced rhythmically at a particular rate.

Animal Behaviour

Gadagkar - 2021 - Experiments in Animal Behaviour - Cutting-Edge Research at Trifling Cost. Indian Academy of Sciences, Bangalore. Access full text of this book at: https://www.ias.ac.in/Publications/e-Books/Experiments_in_Animal_Behaviour

In this book, I introduce readers to the study of animal behaviour by describing simple experiments, both old and new, designed to understand how and why animals behave the way they do.
