Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Travis Tabler's research investigates the physiological responses of chickens to environmental stressors, particularly heat stress. His work examines how heat stress impacts intestinal barrier integrity, nutrient transporter expression in the jejunum, and feeding-related neuropeptides in the hypothalamus. Tabler also studies the genetic basis of water efficiency in chickens and how heat stress affects water homeostasis gene expression in the kidney and hypothalamus. His research includes comparative studies between modern broilers and their ancestor, the wild jungle fowl, to understand evolutionary adaptations and responses to stress. Additionally, he has contributed to the development of low-flow water monitoring systems for agricultural applications. Tabler has published 14 papers with over 215 citations and an h-index of 8. He frequently collaborates with researchers at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including Sara Orlowski, Sami Dridi, Elizabeth S. Greene, and Nicholas B. Anthony.
