Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Mahamad Sayab Miya's research has explored various aspects of natural resource management and conservation, with a recent focus on bioinformatics and insect-plant genomics. His previous work includes studies on insect biodiversity, cave beetle phylogenetics, spider beetle systematics, and forestry. Miya has also contributed to research projects on human-wildlife conflict, habitat suitability modeling, and habitat preferences.

His publications investigate topics such as the ethnomedicinal uses of plants in Nepal, pathogenic constraints on Sissoo trees, and the role of non-timber forest products in the national economy. Other research areas include habitat suitability mapping for the blue bull, variations in biomass and carbon stock in tropical forests, and human-leopard conflict in human-dominated landscapes. Miya has also examined the influence of moisture and temperature on tree growth in the Himalayas and compared carbon stock and tree diversity in scientifically versus conventionally managed community forests.

With an h-index of 9 and over 200 citations across 51 publications, Miya has collaborated with researchers from the University of Arkansas at Monticello and the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville.
