Biography

Paul Bartell is an Associate Professor in the Department of Animal Science at Pennsylvania State University. He earned his Ph.D. from the University of Virginia in 2001. Dr. Bartell's research laboratory focuses on the regulation of biological clocks in birds at a systems level, employing behavioral, molecular, and electrophysiological techniques to understand the neural and endocrine mechanisms underlying daily and yearly rhythms in avian behavior and physiology. His current projects investigate how biological clocks temporally organize migratory behaviors and the underlying mechanisms that allow normally diurnal birds to exhibit nocturnal activity during migration. Dr. Bartell has made significant contributions to the understanding of how biological clocks influence reproduction and the temporal organization of behaviors across different life history stages. He has served as a faculty member at Pennsylvania State University since 2005, with previous roles at Texas A&M University and the Max Planck Institute for Ornithology in Germany.
