معرفی
Ben Speers-Roesch is a Full Professor in the Department of Biological Sciences at the University of New Brunswick. His research focuses on thermal physiology, metabolic adaptations, and environmental stressors in aquatic organisms. He leads the BSRLab (website: bsrlab.com) and is affiliated with the Cdn Rivers Institute. His work explores topics such as thermal tolerance limits, effects of pollution (e.g., oil exposure), and seasonal adaptations in fish and crustaceans.
Education: PhD in Biological Sciences (specific institution/year not explicitly stated in text).
Research interests include understanding how aquatic ectotherms respond to environmental changes, including temperature fluctuations, chemical pollutants, and hypoxia. His studies often integrate physiological measurements (e.g., metabolic rates, cardiac function) with ecological observations to assess organismal resilience.
Recent articles emphasize thermal plasticity, oil toxicity in larval stages, and overwintering strategies. His work highlights the importance of behavioral and metabolic adjustments in survival under stressors like warming or pollution.
