We investigate the physiological and behavioural responses of fish, frogs and reptiles to changing environmental conditions including assessing and predicting the impact of human-induced environmental change. Research in the Eco-lab encompasses three themes which underpin the questions we ask and methods we use. Ecophysiology is the core discpline and approach taken in the lab. We utilise a range of techiques and methods, include the use of Biotelemetry to monitor our study species in the wild. A major thrust of our lab is in the emerging field of Conservation Physiology. Clicking on the photos below will provide greater detail of our research in these areas.
