About
Mewa Singh is a behavioral ecologist and primatologist whose research focuses on the evolutionary and ecological bases of primate behavior, cognition, and conservation. His major contributions lie in understanding the adaptive significance of lateral asymmetries in movement and the cognitive mechanisms underlying social interactions in non-human primates. Singh's work has been influential in the field of primate behavioral ecology, with his most-cited paper, "Self-organization of laterally asymmetrical movements as a consequence of space–time optimization" (2015, 2 citations), offering a novel framework for how spatial and temporal constraints shape motor biases. Despite its modest citation count, this paper is notable for integrating theoretical models with empirical observations, providing a foundation for future studies on handedness and laterality in animals. Singh's broader impact is reflected in his extensive fieldwork on lion-tailed macaques and other endemic species, contributing to conservation strategies in the Western Ghats of India. His research has been recognized through collaborations with international institutions and his role in mentoring a new generation of primatologists, making him a key figure in Indian primate research.
