Metabolic Responses to Extreme Conditions (D4) 2011

Animals face a number of extreme stressors to which they must respond. Generally researchers have focused on responses to particular stressful situations, and hence research communities have grown up around these specialized areas. The aim of this meeting is to draw together several of these research communities in a unique interdisciplinary meeting. The aim of bringing such communities together is to allow researchers to explore parallel responses of animals to rather different extremes . We hope this will allow the emergence of common themes and provide an opportunity for researchers to interact with others outside their main areas of interest.
