Research interests
Leader of the EVOLUTIONARY AND ECOLOGICAL PHYSIOLOGY LAB, focusing on responses of animals to changing environments, and how these responses have evolved in space and time.
Areas of Interest: - Physiological Ecology - Evolutionary Physiology - Thermal Biology - Heat transfer - Ectothermy, Endothermy - Cardiac Function, Heart Rate - Reptiles - Crocodilians - Dinosaurs - Lizards
