This project investigates how large animals, specifically ostriches, adapt to temperature fluctuations by examining genomic factors that influence heat and cold resilience. By studying a large population under natural conditions, it aims to uncover the genetic basis of thermal adaptation across different life stages.
Increasing climatic fluctuations mean that animals need to evolve increased heat resilience whilst simultaneously coping with cold periods throughout their lives.
Large animals are particularly susceptible to temperature fluctuations as their large size when mature exposes them to heat stress, and their small size when juvenile exposes them to cold stress. I will test two hypotheses that are central to understanding how large species evolve to cope with temperature fluctuations: 1) Genomic adapt…
