The current officers of the AFS Physiology Section are:

---

President-Elect
Dr. Caleb Hasler
Email: c.hasler@uwinnipeg.ca
AFS-Physiology Bio: Dr. Hasler is an Associate Professor in the Department of Biology at The University of Winnipeg. His research combines physiological and behavioral studies to understand impacts of environmental change on freshwater fishes. Dr. Hasler also works with fisheries managers to undertake applied projects related to catch-and-release angling, hydropower, and invasive species. Dr. Hasler has been a member of AFS for 20 years and is a past-president of the Canadian Aquatic Resources (CARS) section. He also serves on the editorial board for Transactions of the American Fisheries Society and Conservation Physiology.

President
Dr. Erika Eliason
Email: erika.eliason@dfo-mpo.gc.ca
AFS-Physiology Bio: Dr. Eliason is a Research Scientist with Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) in Vancouver, Canada. As an ecological physiologist, Dr. Eliason uses a combination of field and lab-based studies to investigate how fish cope with anthropogenic stressors (e.g., temperature, fisheries interactions). Much of her research focuses on how climate change affects physiological performance across populations, age, body size, and sex in marine and freshwater fishes. Dr. Eliason is a member of the Washington-British Columbia Chapter, Western Division, Canadian Aquatic Resources Section, and Physiology Section of the American Fisheries Society.

Past President
Dr. Anne Todgham
Email: todgham@ucdavis.edu
AFS-Physiology Bio: Dr. Todgham is a Professor and Chair of the Department of Animal Science at the University of California Davis. As an environmental physiologist, Dr. Todgham has an interest in understanding the molecular, biochemical and physiological mechanisms that underlie an animal’s capacity to cope with environmental change, specifically their response to changes in multiple environmental variables. Dr. Todgham is a member of the California-Nevada Chapter, Western Division, and Physiology Section of the American Fisheries Society.

Treasurer
Dr. Ciaran Shaughnessy
Email: ciaran.shaughnessy@okstate.edu
AFS-Physiology Bio: Dr. Shaughnessy is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Integrative Biology at Oklahoma State University. Dr. Shaughnessy is an integrative physiologist who conducts research on the processes of stress and osmoregulation and the endocrine signaling controlling them with applications spanning ecological, evolutionary, and biomedical contexts. In his comparative physiological work, Dr. Shaughnessy seeks to understand how physiological processes related to stress and osmoregulation originated and evolved in by studying key groups (such as agnathans, cartilaginous fishes, and basal bony fishes) along the vertebrate phylogeny. Dr. Shaughnessy is a member of the Oklahoma Chapter and Physiology Section of the American Fisheries Society.
