OverviewAI-generated summary

Mahamad Sayab Miya's research investigates ecological and conservation issues, particularly within the context of Nepal's diverse landscapes. His work has examined the role of non-timber forest products in the national economy and assessed biomass and carbon stock variations in different forest types, including Sal and tropical forests. Miya has also focused on wildlife management and conservation, studying habitat suitability and conflict zones for species like the blue bull and investigating human-leopard conflict in mid-hill regions. His research extends to understanding the ecological factors influencing animal habitat use, such as the summer habitat preferences of *Bos gaurus* in Chitwan National Park and the impact of environmental conditions on tree growth in the Himalayas.

His academic background includes a Master of Science in Biology from Western Kentucky University and a Bachelor of Science in Forestry from Tribhuvan University. Miya's prior research encompassed insect biodiversity, cave beetle phylogenetics, spider beetle systematics, and forestry. He has also contributed to projects on human-wildlife conflict, habitat suitability modeling, and habitat preferences. Currently, his research interests are shifting towards bioinformatics and insect-plant genomics. Miya has an h-index of 9 with over 200 citations across his 51 publications. He has collaborated with researchers such as Prajwol Babu Subedi and Emma Turner.
