- My research interests are rooted in the studies of island biogeography, causes of endemicity and the evolution of novel traits. My approach uses both field- and laboratory-based research grounded in a strong conceptual framework to address processes underlying trait divergence and species (trait) boundaries. I use various methods to understand these processes such as Behavioral studies, basic counts, field experiments, genetic and genomic tools, Satellite Tags, Illumina NGS genomic platforms and bioinformatic tools. Sri Lanka in particular offers a great assortment of species assemblages to study critical questions related to speciation in island biogeographic framework.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
