Many behavioral and physiological responses of animals to predictable and unpredictable changes of the environment are modulated and mediated by hormones. Wolfgang is3 interested in the role of hormones in the control of seasonal behaviors, their modulation in response to predictable and unpredictable changes of the environment, and how the limited number of vertebrate hormone systems have been evolutionary modified to serve different needs in different species (and the sexes).
