Our
research interests focus on the vertebrate stress response, especially
in relation to wild, free-living animals. We are trying to increase
our understanding of how the mechanisms underlying stress help wild
animals survive stressful stimuli such as predators, storms, or anthropogenic
changes. Our work is both laboratory and field based (see RESEARCH).
We are integrating physiology, ecology, and neuroscience; with the
ultimate goal of increasing our comprehension of the causes and effects
of stress. |
