Laboratory of Physiological Ecology of Animals
The area of research in the Laboratory of the Physiological Ecology of Animals is the mechanisms of thermal adaptation of the anamniotics such as amphibians and reptiles. Four research projects are in the process of working out.The first one is connected with the influence of the solar radiation (UV – radiation, visible light, infrared rays) on the somatic temperature and thus on the adaptive capability of poikilothermic animals. The second one investigates the reactions of cardio-vascular system on the alternating temperature (a critical, volitional and an optimal ones) .The third one studies reptile helminthiasis and helminthes on the whole. The fourth one investigates the influence of the environmental factors on the successfulontogenesis of birds belonging to different ecological groups during the early stage of their development.The research work is conducted either during annual expeditions (the Cis –Ural region, Middle and Lower Volga) or in a laboratory setting. The laboratory staff managed to gather the biggest collection of reptile temperatures in Russia.
