Temperature affects every aspect of an animal’s life, from whether it can
survive below zero in the Arctic to its body size and metabolism. Animals and
Temperature: Phenotypic and Evolutionary Adaptation, edited by Ian Johnston and
Albert Bennett (Cambridge University Press, £55/$74.95, ISBN 0 521
49658 6), is a collection of 15 papers that explores the implications of
temperature change for evolution, but highlights the limitations of current
research.
