The Centre for Behaviour and Evolution at Newcastle University invites you to a workshop on:
*The Effects of Temperature on Avian Physiology and Behaviour*
*January 19, 2010, at Newcastle University (United Kingdom)
The workshop inaugurates our newly-installed temperature-controlled chambers, which have been designed for work with birds, as well as other organisms. It will cover different topics in avian biology, from physiology to ecology, with the common theme being the requirement of temperature manipulations to experimentally answer outstanding biological questions.
We will have two keynote speakers:
*Prof. John McNamara* (University of Bristol) will discuss models of animal behaviour in which energetic state is a crucial factor
*Dr. Stephen Willis* (Durham University) will discuss the influence of climate change on bird biogeography
Attendance to the workshop is free, but registration is required by Monday 21 December 2009.
