Dr. Christopher D. Marshall
Associate Professor of Marine Biology & Wildlife and Fisheries Sciences, Texas A&M University
Lab Interests:
Research
interests: Comparative functional organismal biology. Integration of
morphology, physiology and behavioral performance studies of vertebrates to
understand organismal adaptations to the environment. Such studies integrate
several research tools including classic animal dissections,
histocytochemistry, immunohistochemistry, electron microscopy, kinematics &
motion analysis, electromyography, and other electrophysiological techniques.
Recent research topics include: investigations of the feeding apparatus and
foraging behavior in marine vertebrates, comparative neurobiology, function and
evolution of sensory systems.
