معرفی
Ian A. Bouyoucos is a Researcher at James Cook University, specializing in marine biology and conservation physiology. His work focuses on elasmobranch (shark and ray) ecology, thermal tolerance, and the impacts of climate change on marine ecosystems. He holds a PhD in Ecological Energetics of Climate Change for Tropical Sharks (JCU, 2020).
Research Interests: His studies investigate physiological and behavioral adaptations of sharks to environmental stressors such as warming, hypoxia, and acidification. Key topics include thermal tolerance mechanisms, nursery habitat use, and the effects of anthropogenic activities on shark populations.
Publications Highlight: Over 30 peer-reviewed articles, with recent work emphasizing neonatal shark survival strategies, climate resilience, and the physiological responses of sharks to environmental stressors. Collaborations with institutions like the University of South Alabama and the University of the Algarve underscore his global research network.
Methodologies: Uses experimental physiology, biotelemetry, and meta-analysis to assess stress responses and conservation challenges. His work bridges basic research and applied conservation, informing strategies to protect vulnerable marine species.
