John Campbell McNamara

Professor of Comparative and Evolutionary Physiology. We focus on crustaceans from habitats like marine, intertidal, freshwater and semi-terrestrial biotopes. Our studies include osmotic and ionic regulation, gill ion transporter activity and kinetics, location and gene expression, molecular endocrinology of color change and cell signaling, molecular motors and pigment granule translocation. These investigations include a strong evolutionary component, employing phylogenetic comparative methods.
