B H Davies

B H Davies studies the physiology and environmental tolerance of hard ticks, focusing on how factors like temperature, dehydration, and pesticide exposure affect their survival, development, and geographic range. This work has implications for predicting how tick populations—and the diseases they can transmit—may shift in response to environmental changes such as climate warming or chemical exposure. Prospective students would be working on questions at the intersection of insect/arthropod physiology, ecology, and vector-borne disease risk.

Publication output has been steady but modest over the last decade, averaging about one to two papers per year with no strong upward or downward trend.
