My research in the field of comparative animal physiology, behavior and management focuses on the thermal environment and animal thermoregulatory responses to diverse and dynamic environments.
Current study includes investigation of the ontogeny and plasticity of thermoregulation.
Other areas of research interest include comparative cardiovascular and respiratory animal physiology. Lincoln Park Zoological Gardens, Chicago, IL, 1992. Reilly, W.M. and Harrison, P.C. 1994. The Efficacy of Conductive Heat Transfer from the Foot of Domestic Fowl in a Hot Environment. Peripheral and Visceral Blood Flow Distribution.
