This researcher studies how animals—particularly bats, but also insects and corals—physiologically cope with challenging environments such as deserts, heat stress, and dietary shifts. Work spans topics like skin/lipid barrier function for water conservation, energy expenditure, gut microbiomes, and thermal stress tolerance in coral. The overall theme is comparative physiology and ecophysiology, examining how organisms balance water, energy, and temperature regulation.
Publication output has been modest and fluctuating over the last decade, with occasional gaps (e.g., 2024) and a recent uptick in 2025.
