Animal Physiology - Department of Biology
Animal Physiology
The ecological aspect is prominent in most activities within the department of biology. Hence, ecophysiological questions are central in the activities by the animal physiology section. We want to understand central physiological mechanisms, their function in different species and importance in changing environments.
By asking questions about the animals and plants around us we learn more about who we are. The answers provide insight into principles of life and survival.
