OverviewAI-generated summary
Clara Díaz investigates the genetic and physiological factors influencing livestock resilience, particularly in response to environmental stressors like heat. Her work includes assessing the genetic basis of thermotolerance in dairy sheep and Nelore cattle, examining the impact of inbreeding on complex traits, and identifying genomic regions with pleiotropic effects on growth and carcass quality in Rubia Gallega cattle. Díaz also explores the behavioral and attitudinal aspects of livestock breeding, studying farmers' motivations and perceptions regarding the adoption of new breeding tools and strategies for weather resilience.
Her research has been supported by grants and collaborations, contributing to a publication record of over 100 works. Díaz's scholarship metrics include an h-index of 25 and nearly 2,000 citations, recognizing her as a highly cited researcher. She maintains an active lab website and collaborates with researchers at the University of Central Arkansas, including L. D. Davis and Kenneth W. Miller.
