Research themes

• Physiological, behavioral and evolutionary responses of wildlife to environmental variability.
• Physical and ecophysiological factors that model the distribution patterns of species.
• Integration between morphology, behavior, physiology and life history in the face of energy, water and nutritional constraints.
• Integrated analysis of plasticity in physiological and behavioral traits, and its role in adapting to current and projected change.
• Use of the environment and its resources by animals based on climatic factors throughout environmental gradients.
• Variation in functional traits and adaptation strategies against current and predicted levels of environmental disturbance.
• Estimation of the vulnerability of species through the study of their sensitivity levels and degree of exposure to climate change.
• Intrinsic and extrinsic factors that determine the life histories and reproductive strategies of animals in extreme environments.
• Influence of organisms’ functional traits on their populations’s structure and dynamic.
