Andreas Nord

Dr. Andreas Nord is an Affiliate Researcher at the University of Glasgow's School of Biodiversity, One Health & Veterinary Medicine. His work focuses on avian physiology, thermal biology, and environmental stressors. Nord has contributed to over 13 peer-reviewed publications since 2015, with recent emphasis on avian thermoregulation mechanisms, urbanization impacts on wildlife, and methodological advancements in thermal imaging. He served as a Guest Editor for the 2021 Special Issue on thermal imaging in the Journal of Thermal Biology.

Research interests include comparative physiology, urban ecology, and the physiological responses of birds to environmental changes. His studies combine fieldwork with laboratory techniques to explore topics like mitochondrial thermogenesis in birds, oxidative stress in urban environments, and plumage development effects on heat loss. Nord collaborates extensively with international researchers across ornithology, thermal biology, and conservation science.

Publications consistently demonstrate interdisciplinary approaches, linking molecular biology (e.g., telomere dynamics) with ecological observations (e.g., food restriction effects). His methodological contributions include evaluating body temperature measurement techniques for free-ranging animals, published in Animal Biotelemetry (2015) and Journal of Avian Biology (2015).

No academic awards or grants are explicitly listed, though his editorial role highlights scholarly influence. Advising/mentoring relationships aren't detailed in the provided materials. Lab affiliations or team projects aren't specified, though collaborative work with institutions like the University of Glasgow and international partners is evident through co-authorship networks.
