Interdisciplinary Team to Explore Stress Response with Major NSF Award

“Using this predictive model, researchers will be able to predict how populations of animals may persist through forecasted change in the climate and environment,” Wada said. “Existing models focus on changes in hormones that only vertebrates possess. The proposed model lifts this barrier by focusing on the types of damage shared across taxa. My hope is that this model will help characterize relationships among stressors, damage and reproduction in a wide range of species.”
