I teach Bioscience undergraduates on general animal, comparative and environmental physiology modules. Current research interests: Source receptor pathways for heavy metals in terrestrial environments The use of mammal hair and other tissues as bio-indicators of environmental heavy metal concentrations in terrestrial environments. Species: Sheep and small UK mammals

Equine Anhidrosis The Role of the circulatory system in the etiology of equine anhidrosis. The date for this project is undergoing analysis and papers should be submitted before the end of 2007 Equine anhidrosis is a malfunction of the sweating mechanism in sport horses inhabiting hot, humid environments. I am investigating the role of adrenaline in circulatory malfunction and morphological changes in sweat glands and associated structures using stereological methods. We are also surveying breeders in Northern Australia to perform a paper-based exercise on heritability of the condition by statistical analysis of family trees. Colaborators
