Which organization conducted the study on the disruption of genetic connectivity of large herbivores- the gaur and sambar?

The National Centre for Biological Sciences (NCBS) study revealed that land use patterns and roads in central India severely disrupt genetic connectivity among large herbivores like Gaur and Sambar. Published in Molecular Ecology, the study used genetic analysis from faecal samples across multiple tiger reserves and wildlife sanctuaries. It highlighted how infrastructure expansion fragments populations, reducing genetic diversity critical for species adaptation and survival amid environmental pressures and human activities.
