研究领域

The central interest of this research program investigates the evolution of physiological systems, specifically the metabolism and physiology related to animal energetics during locomotion. Using an integrative approach, the research incorporates evolutionary perspectives in the investigation of animal energetics, combining studies of whole-animal performance with their physiology and biochemistry. Flying insects are used as main models as this mode of locomotion is energetically very expensive and a wide range of energetic strategies are employed by these animals.
