講題：Life Through the Lens of Energy Flow in Changing Environments

主持人：林子皓副研究員

Abstract
       Energy, the essence of life, drives biological processes such as physiological homeostasis and locomotion, enabling animals to meet their daily requirements. An animal's preferred form of energy usage and storage, along with its capacity for energy transport, are critical endogenous factors in maintaining energy homeostasis and sustaining fitness in a changing environment. Furthermore, animals must continuously reallocate their limited energy budget across physiological systems to adapt to environmental changes and different life stages. Understanding the dynamics of energy flow in animals, as well as its relationship with physiological system changes, provides insights at both individual and ecosystem levels. It reveals an animal's energy requirement and priority in physiological systems under certain conditions; it also helps predict a species' impact on the flow of energy through the food web. In this talk, I will demonstrate how I apply energy dynamics to uncover animal survival strategies in changing environments and discuss potential future directions.
