Authors

James Hicks Professor, Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, University of California, Irvine, CA, USA. Dr. James Hicks currently serves as a Professor in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at University of California Irvine. He received his M.S. in Biology and later his Ph.D. in Biomedical Sciences from the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque. Dr Hicks is a member of the American Physiological Society, the Society for Integrative and Comparative Biology, and the Society for Experimental Biology. He has authored and contributed to numerous publications on animal physiology and ecology. Internationally, he is currently a member of the Science and Technology Advisory Committee for the University of Aarhus in Denmark. Tobias Wang Professor, Section for Zoophysiology, Department of Bioscience, Aarhus University, Denmark. Dr. Tobias Wang is a professor of Zoophysiology at Aarhus University. He is interested in how animals function and how they have adapted to the environments where they live. Being trained as a biologist, he takes an evolutionary approach to understand the evolution of physiological systems amongst vertebrates, and collaborate widely with medical physiologist and molecular biologists in my studies on heart function in various animals.
