“For such a large number of problems there will be some animal of choice, or a few such animals, on which it can be most conveniently studied.”
— August Krogh, 1929
Why our work matters
We provide scientists and managers with rigorous physiological data on the limits to organismal performance, and on the role of phenotypic plasticity as a mechanism to permit population persistence in response to rapid environmental change
