معرفی
Dr. Darryl McLennan is a Researcher in the Department of Physiology, Ageing & Welfare at the University of Glasgow. His work focuses on animal physiology, ecology, and conservation biology, particularly in aquatic species like Atlantic salmon. Key research interests include telomere dynamics, metabolic efficiency, environmental impacts on fish behavior, and the interplay between genetics and environmental factors.
McLennan’s research explores how environmental stressors such as temperature, habitat restoration, and parental influences affect salmon populations. He has contributed to studies on predator-prey dynamics, thermal tolerance, and the genetic basis of survival strategies in migratory fish. His work bridges ecological and physiological mechanisms, offering insights into conservation management and evolutionary biology.
Notable contributions include publications on telomere elongation under varying temperatures, the role of parental nutrients in offspring fitness, and the effects of angling on salmon reproductive success. He collaborates widely with institutions and has secured grants such as the 2016 Fisheries Society of the British Isles award for studying telomere length and survival in Atlantic salmon.
His datasets, including studies on habitat restoration impacts and salmon maturation genetics, further highlight his commitment to advancing understanding of ecological and physiological challenges facing aquatic species.
