Ecophysiology
How does social behaviour, foraging decisions and the avoidance of risk affect the energetic demands of individuals? How does environmental temperature and oxygen availability impact stress levels in fish? How can we use thermal imaging as a non-invasive technique to measure surface body temperature and modelling metabolic heat production? What generates individual variation in physiological and behavioural traits, and how do these influence viability and fitness?
