Temperature is perhaps the
most extensively examined of the variables that may affect molecular/cellular/
tissue/organismal function. Yet, surprisingly little is known concerning
the capacity of organisms to rapidly acclimate to low temperature, especially
in nature. In my laboratory we work toward a better understanding of low
temperature acclimation by answering questions at multiple levels of biological
organization from the molecule through populations of organisms.
