I study the mating dynamics of blackbuck (Antilope cervicapra) in a natural lekking population at Tal Chhapar, Rajasthan. My work asks how males establish and defend display territories, how multimodal signalling maps onto competition and dominance, and how females make mate-choice decisions within the lek. 

I completed my PhD (2025) at IISER Kolkata, where I investigated territory formation and maintenance in free-ranging dogs across human-dominated landscapes. That work tested how resource distribution predicts territory size and group density (Resource Dispersion Hypothesis), and examined responses to resource pulses and human cues, alongside studies of resting-site ecology, social associations, scent-based communication, and the urban scavenger guild.
