Michael Kearney

Project Leader (4.4)
The University of Melbourne

Michael Kearney is a physiological ecologist. His work aims connect what we can measure about an animal’s basic survival skills and capabilities (e.g. temperature tolerances, water loss rates, energetics, microhabitat requirements, nutrition) with what we can measure about their environments and how they change though space and time.
