Biography
Dr Booth's, Senior Lecturer, Faculty of Science, at The university of Queensland Australia.Current studies include respiratory gas exchange and embryonic development in lungfish, reproductive ecology and physiology of sea and fresh water turtles and lizards, water economy during aestivation of burrowing desert frogs and the effects of hypoxia on embryonic development in crocodiles and turtles.
Research Interest
Dr Booth's research interests include the energetics and biology of reproduction and incubation in reptiles and birds, the effect of temperature on physiological processes and respiratory gas exchange between animals and their environment. Current studies include respiratory gas exchange and embryonic development in lungfish, reproductive ecology and physiology of sea and fresh water turtles and lizards, water economy during aestivation of burrowing desert frogs and the effects of hypoxia on embryonic development in crocodiles and turtles.
