Jack Hayes

Professor

Summary

My research interests are the evolutionary physiology and physiological ecology of animals, especially vertebrates. Currently, I am working on (1) macrophysiology of mammals and (2) testing the predictions of bioclimatic models with data on physiological performance. I am also interested in allometry and the statistics relating to allometric analyses, in methods for assessing body condition, and in trade-offs between immune function and other physiological variables.
