معرفی
Dr. Michel Genoud is a Researcher at the University of Lausanne's Department of Ecology and Evolution, affiliated with the Christe Group. His research focuses on physiological energetics, particularly thermal ecology, hibernation, and reproductive strategies in endotherms. He specializes in small mammals (bats, rodents) and birds, using experimental, descriptive, and comparative approaches. Collaborations include work with Prof. Philippe Christe, Karin Isler, and Robert D. Martin. His office is located in room 3122, with contact details available at michel.genoud@unil.ch.
Research interests span temperature regulation, overwintering energetics, and the interplay between physiology and ecology. Key projects include studies on torpor mechanisms in bats, thermal adaptation in tropical rodents, and the impact of human activities on wildlife energetics. His work bridges evolutionary physiology and ecological adaptation, with applications to conservation and comparative biology.
Publications highlight interdisciplinary approaches, including metabolic rate analyses, field studies on hibernation behavior, and methodological tools like the 'torpor' R package. While no awards are listed, his long-term contributions (1979–2022) underscore sustained excellence in mammalian and avian physiology research.
Advising and grants are not explicitly detailed, but his collaborations and publications suggest active involvement in mentoring and research funding. He contributes to lab activities within the Department of Ecology and Evolution, focusing on physiological and ecological research themes.
