Description:

The Williams ICE Lab is dedicated to studying the comparative ecophysiology  and exercise physiology of humans and the largest, most endangered mammals to walk on land and swim in the oceans. Specifically, Dr. Williams and her students investigate the energetic, thermal, cardiovascular, neural and biomechanical biology of human athletes and apex predators including African lions, pumas, tropical dolphins and seals, sea otters, and polar-living wolves, whales, bears and seals. By examining the functional relationships between humans, animals and their environment, we strive to understand the ecological significance of a species and the physiological adaptations necessary for survival in a constantly changing world.WATCH: 30 years of Conservation Science in 300 Seconds FELIDSDo male and female lions kill more prey when temperatures increase? The felid studies in our laboratory are focused on African lions in Kenya and Pumas in the Santa Cruz Mountains. The overall goal of these studies is to understand human- felid conflicts. We  investigate free-ranging behaviors and energetic demands of canids such as wolves in order to provide both researchers and wildlife managers with a greater understanding of the links between carnivore habitat, prey requirements, and movement patterns. We are conducting research on polar bears in the southern Beaufort Sea. Our goal is to investigate the effects of declines in Arctic sea ice on polar bear behaviors and energy demands. MARINE MAMMALSDoes oceanic noise pollution cause dolphins and whales to strand? The marine mammal program is conducting comparative studies around the world on cetaceans (dolphins, narwhals), pinnipeds (Weddell seals, Hawaiian monk seals), sirenians (West Indian manatees), and sea otters. Our goal is to examine the physiological and behavioral responses to anthropogenic disturbance.
