معرفی
Jesse Krause is a Teaching Assistant Professor in the Department of Biology at the University of Nevada, Reno, with a research focus on environmental endocrinology and avian physiology. He has conducted extensive studies on stress response, reproductive biology, and the interplay between ecological and endocrine systems in White-crowned sparrows and Lapland longspurs.
- Education
- Ph.D. in Molecular, Cellular and Integrative Physiology, University of California Davis, 2014
- B.S. in Biology with emphasis in Physiology, Sonoma State University, 2007
- A.A., Santa Rosa Junior College, 2005
Dr. Krause's research explores how environmental cues like photoperiod and stressors regulate endocrine signaling cascades in birds. His work spans molecular mechanisms (gene expression of steroid receptors and enzymes) to ecological impacts (climate change, urbanization), emphasizing the integration of physiology, behavior, and ecology.
His recent publications highlight themes in avian migration physiology, stress-reproduction trade-offs, and genomic responses to environmental challenges. Collaborations with institutions like the Roslin Institute and University of California Davis have advanced understanding of corticosterone's role and conserved vs. divergent hormone signaling mechanisms.
- Scientific Awards
- National Science Foundation (NSF) grant for Evolving Meta-Ecosystems Institute
Dr. Krause teaches courses in Comparative Animal Physiology (BIOL 316), Endocrinology (BIOL 414), and Comparative Behavioral Endocrinology (BIOL 452). He remains actively engaged in research through collaborations and grants, particularly focusing on Arctic climate change impacts via the NSF-funded Evolving Meta-Ecosystems Institute.
