I am a behavioural ecologist interested in understanding the fascinating diversity in behavioural traits that we see in nature. My research focuses on explaining the evolution of anti-predation behavioural adaptations in prey-predator systems and understanding the ecological consequences of animal behaviour and movement on population dynamics and disease spread. For my PhD, I used principles from behaviour, ecology, and evolution, to study prey trait evolution in spatially and temporally heterogeneous environments, using the mosquito-dragonfly model system. I investigated mosquito oviposition response when predation risk varies predictably and unpredictably, a relatively

less studied form of variation in the environment.
