Conservation Physiology

Conservation physiology is the study of how animals and plants respond to environmental changes, focusing on their biological functions such as stress, reproduction, and health. It uses scientific techniques to understand how factors like pollution, climate change, or habitat loss affect living organisms at a physiological level. This knowledge helps inform conservation efforts, guiding strategies to protect species and ecosystems more effectively. Essentially, conservation physiology bridges biology and environmental science to ensure the survival of biodiversity in a rapidly changing world.
