Daniel C Holley

Daniel C Holley is a Professor in the Department of Biological Sciences at San José State University. His academic career includes a Ph.D. from the University of California, Davis (1976). His research spans diverse areas including avian biology, circadian rhythms, biomechanics, and space-related physiological studies. He has contributed to understanding avian nesting behaviors, human locomotion biomechanics, and the effects of light and acoustic stress on biological systems.

Research Interests:

• Zoology and Ornithology: Focused on species description and ecological adaptations
• Neurobiology: Investigating circadian rhythms and SCN neural control mechanisms
• Biomedical Applications: Studying acoustic tolerance in animals and space medicine

Publications reflect interdisciplinary work bridging field ecology, laboratory physiology, and applied aerospace research. His studies on light-induced melatonin suppression and NASA-funded acoustic tolerance tests highlight translational research impacts.
