My principal research interests have concerned osmoregulation and the renal, gastrointestinal, and hepatic mechanisms that vertebrates use to cope with their environment, but I have also dabbled in animal behavior, bioinformatics, evolutionary genetics, genome evolution, metabolism, nutrition, and respiratory physiology.
