• Encourage and promote the study of bats (Volant [flying] mammals) of South Asia, by organizing and running a network of all specialists, providing them useful services.
• Maintain a checklist and database – as complete and correct as possible – of bats of South Asia providing local, national and regional information to be shared with important national and international agencies and organizations.
• Catalyse, organize, conduct and follow-up conservation assessment and other workshops and training exercises for bat specialists of South Asia and public education projects as appropriate, nationally or regionally.
• Follow up such workshops with recommendations to local, state, national and regional wildlife authorities for protection of threatened species of bats and promotion of further studies of Data Deficient species (ongoing but much needs to be done).
• Undertake a set of specific “tasks” utilizing the information from the 1997 BCPP Conservation Assessment and Management Plan (C.A.M.P.) workshop and the 2000 Chiroptera CAMP workshop to further enhance our knowledge of bat status in South Asia.
• Research and disseminate information about funding sources for field surveys.
• Bring out a newsletter of current bat conservation, research, education news (several issues have been brought out and can be found on our website http://www.zooreach.org).
• Prepare a Directory of bat specialists of South Asia for distribution to all network members.
• Prepare educational materials on bats at different levels on for conveying to policy makers, politicians, and the public – all ages and languages.
• Involve researchers in public education on bats by providing printed material and guidelines.

Other Details: I would like to be involved with your organisation because of my interest in bat ecolocation mechanisms and chiropteran speciation. However, I have done not actual research on bats and my Ph.D. project is on amygdala electrophysiology. This application is a result of a project proposal on bats that I am working on as a part of examinations, I need to give in the Ph.D. program at NCBS. Although this is only interest and not experience based, doing field work in bats is something that I hope to do, even though not as part of my Ph.D. thesis.

Interest: I have been working in the Andaman & Nicobar for one and a half year and have registered with Dr. Marimuthu to further my interest in research in the bat fauna on the islands. Bats have been my interest since I started working on them and plan to carry out extensive work on the endemic species in the islands as part of my Ph.D. Also I would be interested in looking at foraging patterns and population dynamics of some endemic species like the Hipposideros diadema and Pteropus faunulus. Resource partitioning between species living together in the same roost is another important and interesting area that I would like to cover. Till date I have done a survey of the Andaman & Nicobar islands and have been able to identify 17 species in the Andaman islands and 13 in the Nicobars. This study also identified 3 new records for the Andaman and one new species for the Andaman group and 2 new records for the Nicobar group. Bat fauna of Andaman and Nicobar islands, especially endemic species. Foraging patterns and population dynamics of endemic species like Hipposideros diadema and Pteropus faunulus, resource partitioning between species living together in the same roost. Special Interest: Bats Projects: Survey of bats in Andaman and Little Nicobar islands Dec. 2001-Mar 2002. Survey of bats in Great Nicobar and Central Nicobar islands Nov. 2002-Apr 2003.

Publications: Presented 14 papers in National Symposia. Other Details: I have free-hand to encourage bat conservation studies by organising symposia, group discussions, forming NGO bodies, constructing human friendly bat houses, monitoring workshops at our Mahabaleshwar Seminar Retreat and encouraging research on bat biology by offering infrastructure and basic facilities like space, outdoor animal house etc. I also want to persue the ecological and biodiversity aspects of bats in this part of Maharashtra. I have already submitted a project broadly covering this aspect. We desire to establish an NGO for bat conservation in Maharashtra, which will encourage the survey of bat species, identify threatened species, erect bat houses and make bats popular among the common people by various means. I want to exploit the manure potential of bat guano and make it popular as a biofertilizer. Date joined: Jan-01

Research & Spl. Interest: Ecology and biology of small mammals and bats. Projects: I have not conducted any research work on the bats so far but intend to carry out field studies on the taxonomy, population dynamics, food habits, breeding and conservation of bats with the help of my M.Sc., M.Phil and Ph.D. students. Other Details: Informal sightings: I have observed megachiropteran bats roosting communally on trees present along the banks of all major irrigation canals and within the premises of old canal rest houses during my field studies on the barn owl (Tyto alba). The field work was carried out in six districts of central Punjab, Pakistan i.e. Hafizabad, Sheikhupura, Fasalabad, Jhang, Toba Tek Singh and Okara. The ruined buildings of canal rest houses, built along all the major irrigation canals by the British rulers some 200 years ago, offer a secure roost to microchiropteran bats with water in their close proximity from where they can forage insects. A large roost of megachiropteran bats is also reported to be present at Bagh-e-Jinnah, Lahore.

Genetic variation in European bats particularly pipistrellus and myotis in collaboration with Elizabeth Barratt (Institute of Zoology) and Gareth Jones (University of Bristol). This project has confirmed that the two phonic types of the pipistrelle are sibling species, and has thus added a new bat species to the European list. It continues to investigate genetic substructuring and patterns of gene flow in the two pipistrelle species, and is now accumulating data on the genetic structure of British populations of Natterer’s bats.
