Lifetime Achievements in Avian Physiology

The "Lifetime Achievements in Avian Physiology" research topic is a celebration of pioneering contributions to the field of avian physiology. This initiative aims to acknowledge and honor the work of distinguished researchers whose groundbreaking studies have significantly advanced our understanding of bird physiology across various domains.

This Research Topic welcomes submissions that highlight substantial achievements and historical advancements in areas such as:

o Behavioral Physiology: Unveiling the complexities of avian behavior and its physiological underpinnings.

o Circadian and Developmental Physiology: Exploring the rhythms of life and growth patterns in birds.

o Ecophysiology and Environmental Physiology: Investigating the intricate interactions between birds and their environments.

o Evolutionary and Metabolic Physiology: Delving into the evolutionary adaptations and metabolic processes that define avian species.

o Nutritional and Organ System Physiology: Examining the dietary influences and physiological mechanisms within various organ systems (e.g., cardiovascular, endocrine, and immune).

o Pathophysiology, Stress Physiology, and Systems Biology: Addressing the challenges of disease, stress responses, and systemic interactions in birds.

o Toxicology and Its Impact: Understanding the effects of environmental toxins on avian health.

We encourage reflections on the historical trajectory of avian research, discussions of major breakthroughs, and insights into future directions in the field. This topic not only celebrates past achievements but also inspires continued excellence and innovation in avian physiology research. We welcome several different article types, including Opinion Articles (max word count 2000). More information on accepted article types can be found 'here'.

By spotlighting these lifetime achievements, we aim to foster a deeper appreciation for the vital role of avian physiology in understanding and preserving bird species, both wild and domesticated.

Please note that all submissions should comply with our author guidelines and general standards, that are outlined 'here'.
