Dr. Sheikh Sajan

I completed my master's in Wildlife and Biodiversity Conservation from North Orissa University and Ph.D. in Wildlife Science from Wildlife Institute of India under Saurashtra University, Gujarat. Currently engaged as Post-Doctoral Fellow at the Zoological Survey of India. I am interested in Mollusca and doing research on the taxonomy, phylogeny, and systematics phylogeography of the Indian Mollusca and focusing on systematics, ecology and see how species distribution patterns have changed over time, what factors may be behind on species distribution and abundance shifts, and ecological interactions. I am also cataloging the type materials housed in the collections of the Zoological Survey of India and solve the taxonomic and nomenclature issues in molluscs.
