Biology & Wildlife Areas of Study
Zoology, Animal Physiology, and Animal Behavior
Strengths of our program include animal nutrition, hibernation, neurobiology, adaptation to cold, and toxicology of marine mammals. Captive populations of caribou, reindeer, and muskoxen are maintained at the Institute of Arctic Biology's Robert G. White Large Animal Research Station adjacent to the UAF campus. Opportunities include neurobiology, hormonal controls of behavior, circadian rhythms, bird migratory and breeding behavior, overwintering strategies, and wildlife telemetry.
