Madliger, Christine L.

I am interested in how physiological tools can best be utilized to solve conservation problems. While I have focused mainly on the validation of glucocorticoids (stress hormones) in this context, I am also interested in how the vast array of physiological techniques currently available to practitioners may lead to successful management and mitigation strategies. My work in the Cooke Lab focuses on determining the behavioural and physiological consequences of artificial light at night in a variety of fish species. In addition, I quantify how barriers related to logistics, interpretation, and translation of knowledge may limit the carry-through of physiological monitoring to conservation success.
