Dr. Akshay Kumar Chakravarthy, Head and Principal Scientist (ret.), Division of Entomology and Nematology, is the author of numerous books and over 300 scientific papers and 60 chapters on entomology and natural history. His interests include insects, birds, bats, rodents and mammals. With nearly four decades of experience in teaching and research, Dr. Chakravarthy has been the principal investigator for over 35 research projects. Holding a Ph.D. from Punjab Agricultural University and a fellow of the IARI, New Delhi, he is a member of several national and international scientific associations, referee, reviewer and editor for several national and international journals. A field-orientated, widely travelled biologist, Dr. Chakravarthy is actively investigating novel approaches to integrated pest management, host plant interaction, vertebrate pest management, biodiversity and environmental conservation issues. He is author of several significant book contributions on this theme.
