Physiological & Behavioral Ecology

Ralph Ackerman

Physiological, ecological and biophysical aspects of heat and mass exchange between organisms and their environments, with current research on the ecological physiology and biophysical ecology of reptile and avian eggs and embryos.

Dean Adams

Evolution of phenotypic diversity; ecological and evolutionary morphology; species interactions and community organization; quantitative morphology (morphometrics).

Bonnie Bowen

Evolutionary processes and genetic structure in natural population of animals, particularly behavioral ecology of birds, and conservation genetics of freshwater mussels.

Fred Janzen

Molecular and experimental evolutionary ecology, primarily of reptiles; the relative impact of environmental and genetic factors on variation in, and evolution of, adaptive physiological traits like sex-determining mechanisms; the genetic structure of, and relationships among, individuals, populations, and higher taxa.

Thomas Jurik

The relationship of physiological and morphological characteristics of component species to the structure of prairie, wetland, forest, and agricultural plant communities; functional ecology; sustainable agriculture.

Clint Kelly

Sexual selection and the evolution of mating systems and strategies; meta-analysis of literature to quantitatively review topics in behavioural ecology.

Carol Vleck

Physiology, ecology and behavior of vertebrates, especially the interaction of reproduction, energetics, aging and environmental stressors, with particular emphasis on field studies in birds.

David Vleck

Physiological ecology of animals, energetics of reproduction and locomotion, water balance in desert organisms.

Nicole Valenzuela

Ecological and Evolutionary genomics of phenotypic plasticity, developmental pathways, and sex determination. Life history evolution, conservation and ecological genetics of turtles.
