Biography and Research Information
OverviewAI-generated summary
Clara Díaz's research focuses on livestock breeding strategies, particularly concerning climate resilience and the genetic basis of traits such as thermotolerance. Her work investigates how environmental factors influence animal productivity and health, and how breeding programs can be designed to enhance these characteristics in small ruminants and cattle.
Díaz has published on the genetic factors contributing to heat tolerance in dairy sheep populations and has explored the use of productive versus physiological indicators for assessing heat tolerance in on-farm conditions. Her research also extends to understanding farmer attitudes towards breeding tools and their motivation for selecting specific traits, linking these to perceived climate change impacts and social trust.
Her scholarship metrics include an h-index of 25 and over 1,878 citations across more than 100 publications. Díaz collaborates with researchers at the University of Central Arkansas, including L. D. Davis and Kenneth W. Miller.
