Research interests
When attentions are directed toward improving animal nutrition and productivity, preserving rare species, managing wildlife, evaluating the effects of pollution factors on the health and welfare of animals, and utilizing animals for research in basic biological science to determine the requirements for human health, nutrition and welfare, the physical environment are of major concern. Research on the interrelationships of animals and environment serves to fulfill such desires. If the purpose of animal production is to make its contribution to human food supplies, it must be efficient which subsequently requires a thorough understanding of the influences of various elements of environment on animal biophysiological functions.
Principles of biometeorology are especially important for the comprehension of environmental problems that hinder or enhance animal comfort and productivity. Therefore, manipulation and amelioration of environments is a primary concern in animal production, where advances beyond the current knowledge and technologies require increasingly greater understanding of animal biometeorology, which is a field that explores and study the effects of natural vs. artificial and biotic vs. abiotic meteorological conditions on animals physiology including agricultural important processes. <div class="references-small">
The ultimate purpose of Dr. Samara's researches is to fully understand the mechanisms of body thermoregulation and thermotolerance in animals, particularly, camels. The main focus of his current research is the thermophysiological capacity of camels to cope with predicted effects of climate change, while in the future he hope that his research will emphasize on studying the influence of specific controlled laboratory conditions on animal's neurophysiology. Generally speaking, he also has wide-ranging research interests in several fields including philosophy, physics, biometeorology, thermoregulatory physiology, circadian rhythms, infrared thermography, neuroethology and themosensory, molecular and genetic thermotolerance, epigenetic adaptation, bioenergetic, biotelemetry, miniature biologging, thermodynamic models, non-invasive approaches, as well as development of non-living models.
Publications
Dr. Samara has published over 30 scientific research articles in several international journals and conferences <div class="references-small">
