Seminar Series - Dr. Katie Marshall

October 31, 2024 - Dr. Katie Marshall, University of British Columbia

Topic: Thermal physiology of invertebrates

Katie is an Associate Professor at UBC. She works with a wide variety of species to try to understand the physiological mechanisms driving species ranges. Her work combines 'omics technology with more traditional physiological techniques and ecological modelling to understand the causes and consequences of low temperature and desiccation stress.  A major focus includes using more ecologically relevant stressors that vary over time rather than the single exposures that are often used in physiological studies.
