My research lies at the intersections of comparative physiology\, ecology and evolutionary biology\, and the synergies between these disciplines. Through field and laboratory based experiments\, I seek to understand how rigidity or flexibility in metabolism and body temperature regulation affects the energetics of a species\, and how their evolutionary history has shaped these patterns. The data obtained through studying thermoregulation and energetics can have multiple applications. By understanding the dynamics of the relationship between an animal and its thermal environment\, we can better predict energy budgets and responses to changes in climate and resource availability. As such\, physiological data are vital for the development of realistic\, predictive\, models assessing the vulnerability of species to climate change; a large part of the newly emerging field of conservation physiology. Using small mammals as model organisms\, my research at the University of Maine seeks to address gaps in our fundamental understanding of mammalian energetics using a combination of laboratory and field-based projects aimed at elucidating the effects of activity\, humidity and high ambient temperature on the performance (and ultimately the distribution) of mammals.

Historically\, this information has been collected by lethal sampling\, an approach that is problematic for threatened and endangered species.  Recent studies have demonstrated that non-lethal approaches can be as effective as lethal ones for assessment of the reproductive status of these fish. Using examples from various species and reproductive modes\, Dr. Sulikowski will  summarize his research and our current knowledge of several techniques:  1) analysis of circulating plasma hormones; 2)  concentrations of steroid hormones from skeletal muscle tissue; and 3) the use of ultrasonography to discern pregnancy and follicular development and their use as reliable indicators of reproductive status\nin these charismatic fish. \nHost:  Yong Chen URL:https://elh.umaine.edu/event/school-marine-sciences-seminar-stick-sun-dont-shine-advances-non-%c2%ad%e2%80%90lethal-study-reproductive-biology-elasmobranchs-sharks-skates/ LOCATION:354 Aubert Hall\, 354 Aubert Hall\, Orono\, ME\, United States CATEGORIES:Darling Marine Center,Lectures & Seminars,School of Marine Sciences ORGANIZER;CN="School of Marine Sciences":MAILTO:susanne@maine.edu GEO:44.9012912;-68.6707296 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=354 Aubert Hall 354 Aubert Hall Orono ME United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=354 Aubert Hall:geo:-68.6707296,44.9012912 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20170303T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20170303T170000 DTSTAMP:20260415T135127 CREATED:20170208T194607Z LAST-MODIFIED:20170227T212137Z UID:10002698-1488553200-1488560400@elh.umaine.edu SUMMARY:School of Biology and Ecology Seminar: Dr. Steve Munger\, The Jackson Laboratory DESCRIPTION:School of Biology and Ecology Seminar\nSpring 2017 \npresents \nDr. Steve Munger\, The Jackson Laboratory \n(Host: Han Tan) \n“Harnessing Genetic Diversity to Discover Protein Regulatory Networks”\nThe Munger Lab explores natural genetic variation segregating in populations to discover how mutations that assert subtle individual effects can\, in combination\, disrupt gene regulatory networks and confer genetic susceptibility to developmental anomalies\, adult disorder\, and disease. The research integrates in vivo and in vitro experimental assays and computational methods with advanced mapping populations – an emerging multidisciplinary field called Systems Genetics – to identify causal genetic variants and network interactions that underlie phenotypic variability in 1) transcript abundance\, protein expression\, and organ function in adult tissues and 2) disease ecology and severity in a mouse model of Cornelia de Lange Syndrome. Munger has extensive training in developmental biology\, complex trait genetics\, genomics\, and bioinformatics. He values collaborative science\, and seeks to apply his computational expertise and the analytical methods he has developed to empower other researchers working with high throughput sequencing data from genetically diverse cohorts. \nSeminars will be held on Fridays at 3:15 pm in 107 Norman Smith Hall\, unless otherwise noted. \nLight refreshments served at 3:00 p.m. \n  URL:https://elh.umaine.edu/event/school-biology-ecology-seminar-dr-steve-munger-jackson-laboratory/ LOCATION:107 Norman Smith Hall\, orono\, ME\, United States CATEGORIES:Lectures & Seminars,School of Biology and Ecology ORGANIZER;CN="School of Biology and Ecology":MAILTO:teresa.costello@umit.maine.edu GEO:44.8831125;-68.6719411 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20170304 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20170305 DTSTAMP:20260415T135127 CREATED:20170208T211220Z LAST-MODIFIED:20170208T211220Z UID:10000150-1488585600-1488671999@elh.umaine.edu SUMMARY:Go Blue Friday DESCRIPTION:The following days have been designated as UMaine’s Go Blue Fridays\, a chance to show your UMaine spirit and campus pride by wearing blue and/or UMaine clothing: Feb. 10 and 24; March 24; April 7 and 14; and May 12.
