Shaun Killen is a Professor of Ecophysiology at the University of Glasgow's Institute of Biodiversity, Animal Health and Comparative Medicine (BAH&CM). His research integrates physiology, behavior, and ecology to understand how organisms respond to environmental challenges. He leads the Fish Biology Group, focusing on metabolic scaling, predator-prey interactions, and climate change impacts on aquatic species.
Key research interests include the metabolic basis of behavior, effects of environmental stressors on fish physiology, and the ecological consequences of anthropogenic pollutants. Collaborations span coral reef ecology, salmon migration, and stickleback behavior. Killen has published extensively in journals like Global Change Biology and Journal of Animal Ecology, emphasizing methodological rigor in ecophysiological studies.
His work highlights the importance of linking metabolic performance to ecological processes, such as predator avoidance and social cohesion. Recent studies explore how climate change alters fish behavior and distribution, with implications for conservation and fisheries management.
