个人简介

BSc Hons (University of Alberta); MSc (University of Washington); PhD (University of British Columbia) Work in my lab is directed at determining the physiological basis of biodiversity in vertebrates. What are the physiological adaptations that individual species possess that allow them to live in different environments? In particular we study respiratory, cardiovascular, thermoregulatory and metabolic adaptations for life in environments with low / high levels of oxygen, carbon dioxide, temperature, food and water. We are particularly interested in the neural control of these processes and their function in unanesthetized, freely behaving animals.
