This course examines the roles of heat and temperature as ?master regulators? of physiology and biochemistry. It will emphasize how mechanisms underlying thermal effects integrate over spatial and temporal scales. Illustrative examples will be taken from the primary literature about organisms living in extreme or rapidly changing thermal environments.
