Temperature Adaptation in a Changing Climate

All living organisms on Earth are slaves to environmental temperature change. Temperature rules the fundamental bio- chemistry of cellular metabolism - temperature change alters the rates of all metabolic reactions and changes the conformations of all macromolecules. Temperature also constrai...
