Animals and temperature : phenotypic and evolutionary adaptation / edited by Ian A. Johnston, Albert F. Bennett.
| Call Number | 591.54/2 |
| Title | Animals and temperature : phenotypic and evolutionary adaptation / edited by Ian A. Johnston, Albert F. Bennett. Animals & Temperature |
| Physical Description | 1 online resource (xvi, 419 pages) : digital, PDF file(s). |
| Series | Society for Experimental Biology seminar series ; 59 |
| Notes | Title from publisher's bibliographic system (viewed on 24 Feb 2016). |
| Contents | Adaptation of biological membranes to temperature: biophysical perspectives and molecular mechanisms / Temperature adaptation: molecular aspects / Stenotherms and eurytherms: mechanisms establishing thermal optima and tolerance ranges / Ecological and evolutionary physiology of stress proteins and the stress response: the Drosophila melanogaster model / Temperature adaptation and genetic polymorphism in aquatic animals / Phenotypic plasticity and evolutionary adaptations of mitochondria to temperature / Temperature and ontogeny in ectotherms: muscle phenotype in fish / |
| Summary | Environmental temperature varies in time and space on timescales ranging from a few hours to long-term climate change. Organisms are therefore continually challenged to regulate and maintain functional capacities as their thermal environment changes. This volume brings together many of the leading workers in thermal biology, with backgrounds spanning the disciplines of molecular biology, cell biology, physiology, zoology, ecology and evolutionary biology, to discuss the responses of a wide range of species to temperature change at all scales of organization, ranging through the molecular, cellular, organismal, population and ecosystem levels. The volume provides an important and comprehensive contribution to the study of temperature adaptation, which, given the concern about global climate change, will provide much to interest a wide range of biologists. |
