How to Cope With Stress in a Changing World

Bringing together specialists from disparate fields, Davies, Dow and Lukowiak present reviews covering stress in organisms ranging from yeast and plants to fish, birds and mammals, encompassing the molecular mechanisms that drive cellular responses to stress through to the epigenetic factors that regulate stress responses across generations.The collection features the following review papers:Molecular basis of chill resistance adaptations in poikilothermic animals, by S.A.
