معرفی
Phillip Morrison, PhD, is a faculty member in the Department of Biology at Vancouver Island University (VIU), affiliated with the School of Science and Technology. His research focuses on fish physiology, zoology, and marine biology, with a particular emphasis on hemoglobin-oxygen transport mechanisms, thermal tolerance in aquatic species, and viral impacts on fish health. He maintains active collaborations in conservation biology and evolutionary physiology, contributing to studies of endangered species like the Nechako white sturgeon and extinct marine mammals like Steller’s sea cows.
Dr. Morrison’s work integrates experimental physiology with ecological relevance, addressing topics such as temperature-dependent hemoglobin-oxygen binding in sharks, hypoxia tolerance in neonatal sharks, and parasite prevalence in coastal fish populations. His research has implications for aquaculture management, climate change adaptation, and wildlife conservation strategies.
He holds a PhD and serves as a key academic contact in VIU’s Biology program, contributing to undergraduate research initiatives and the Museum of Natural History. His laboratory facilities and research groups are integral to the university’s commitment to interdisciplinary marine science.
