Funded Activity Summary

Physiological Thermoregulation and Cardiovascular Function in Reptiles. This project will be important in advancing the concept of physiological thermoregulation in reptiles from a descriptive to a mechanistic basis, thereby providing a better conceptual framework within which the evolutionary processes and selection pressures acting on modern animals and their ancestors can be evaluated. Benefits of conducting this research will include: maintaining the high international profile of Australian comparative physiology; the training of post-graduate students, both Honours and Ph.D.s; stimulating collaboration between two of Australia's research intensive universities (Sydney and Queensland); and show-casing Australia's impressive reptilian fauna.
