Research Areas & Interests

S.No. Details
1 O7992Our research focus is mainly on the birds’ daily and seasonal activities, which are temporally and spatially placed in such a way that they optimize an ecological adaptation. The undergoing Research themes are as following:
2 O7993Clocks controlled daily and seasonal behaviors (e.g. migration and reproduction).
3 O7994Endocrinology of seasonal behaviors (with reference to changes in melatonin, thyroid and steroid hormones).
4 O7995Localization and expression of Opsin (Melanopsin Opn4) in the avian system.
5 O7996Endocrinology of free-living birds. Measurement of hormones, and recording their behavioral changes.
