Cooper, Paul - The Australian National University

个人简介

I undertook my PhD at UCLA studying water balance in desert beetles. I then went travelling, taking a postdoctoral position wherever I found one; so I was at the University of Tennessee-Knoxville, University of Arizona and University of British Columbia. I obtained a postdoc at La Trobe University before being appointed as a contract lecturer here at ANU in 1987. I have lectured in physiological, behavioural and introductory ecology, invertebrate and vertebrate zoology, entomology and the current physiology courses. My research uses various microscopic techniques (confocal, SEM, x-ray µCT), as well as a variety of electrophysiological techniques. I am an editor for the Australian Journal of Zoology and act as the convenor of the recovery team for the Grassland Earless Dragon, an endangered agamid lizard that has known populations only in the ACT and NSW south to Cooma.

研究领域

Regulation of feeding in insects by neural and endocrine systems. Physiology and ecology of aquatic macroinvertebrates, especially salt and pH regulation, and their use as indicators of water quality. Physiology and ecology of insect pests of Australian agriculture
