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.

Our guest for the day is a pioneering expert from this very same field, who has gone on adventures through forests and jungles all over the world, witnessing and explaining the miracles of the wild, trying to uncover the underlying complex relations that connect different species. In our conversation with her, we explore her research which deals with a vast range of topics ranging from fungus farming termites to fig pollinating wasps.  Dive in to listen to the ever charismatic Dr. Renee Maria Borges, Professor at the Centre of Ecological Sciences, IISc explain the intricacies of life with the help of scintillating stories from her own treasure trove of experiences.
