Archive

Journal of Experimental Biology is the leading primary research journal in comparative physiology and publishes papers on the form and function of living organisms at all levels of biological organisation, from the molecular and subcellular to the integrated whole animal.

Our authors and readers reflect a broad interdisciplinary group of scientists who study molecular, cellular and organismal physiology in an evolutionary and environmental context.

Predicting the Future: Species Survival in a Changing World

Guest editors: Craig E. Franklin and Hans H. Hoppeler

The past decade has been the warmest since global temperatures have been recorded.  Along with increases in extreme weather events and ocean acidification and a reduction in the extent of Arctic sea ice, anthropogenic-driven climate change is having devastating effects on ecosystems and biodiversity. In a series of Review articles by experts working across different taxa and environmental drivers, this Special Issue explores the significant role of experimental biology in assessing and predicting the susceptibility or resilience of species to future, human-induced environmental change.  It highlights the need for data sharing and better integration across scientific disciplines if we are to address the impacts humans are having on our physical and natural world.
