Jason Ortega studies the intersection of environmental change and organismal physiology, focusing on time-energy budgets in terrestrial ectotherms. His research investigates how factors like fasting and molting impact metabolic effort and duration, particularly in reptiles. Ortega's work aims to understand the links between environmental shifts and local extinction events by analyzing these physiological constraints. He has published research on the metabolic effort of ecdysis in timber rattlesnakes and time-energy constraints in terrestrial ectotherms facing environmental change. Ortega collaborates with researchers from the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville and the University of Central Arkansas. His scholarship metrics include an h-index of 5, with 5 total publications and 78 total citations.
