Biography - Dane A Crossley

I am a systems physiologist with special interest in the evolution and development of cardio-respiratory control in vertebrates. My work focuses on the complex interactions of regulatory components that maintain cardio-respiratory function during physiological challenges. My PhD studies focused on the evolution and ontogeny of cardio-respiratory regulation using armadillos, snakes, alligators, and chickens as models. I have particular interest in the onset and maturation of mechanisms of cardiovascular control during vertebrate ontogeny.


This area of research has given me the opportunity to travel abroad and interact with people from several different cultures. These adventures abroad have also been great avenues to pursue my passion for outdoor activities (rock climbing, hiking, and fishing) and photography. I am currently focused on the study on crocodilian development with the goal of understanding this group of vertebrates.
