Kort presentation
Denna text finns inte på svenska, därför visas den engelska versionen.
My research interests regard metabolism and biomechanics. Specifically, I am using a combination of molecular, physiological and biomechanical techniques to understand the physiological and morphological constraints acting on species and how these influence adaptation, behaviour and responses to environmental stressors. Although my work focuses primarily on birds, I seek to discover rules that are more broadly applicable.
