Bio/Research
Dr. O'Dor is an expert in topics of animal behaviour and physiology and in marine biology. The energy costs of activity in marine animals are poorly known and difficult to measure. Dr. O'Dor's research group studies activity costs in animals ranging from large pelagic cephalopods to microscopic planktonic bivalve larvae. Nautilus, squid, cuttlefish, octopus, and even adult scallops turn energy into jet pressure that can be monitored and telemetered from free-swimming animals in Dalhousie's 15m diameter Aquatron pool and in nature using radio-acoustic tracking techniques developed with VEMCO Ltd., a local engineering company.
