Remodelling of physiological systems in response to environmental change Organised by: Todd Gillis, University of Guelph (tgillis@uoguelph.ca),  Holly Shiels, University of Manchester (Holly.Shiels@manchester.ac.uk) Sponsored by Journal of Thermal Biology and Loligo Systems. Many species are able to survive, and acclimate, to significant changes in environmental and physiological conditions. These changes include reductions in environmental temperature, oxygen levels and pH. To maintain physiological function and/or maintain health under such conditions can require the remodelling of physiological systems across multiple levels of organization. This includes molecular and biochemical pathways, cell and tissue morphology and whole organ function. The purpose of this symposium is to examine the regulation of such remodelling and it’s functional consequences. This one day session will bring together investigators who examine physiological remodelling in different animals in response to a variety of stressors at different levels of biological organization. This includes strategies used to preserve neural function in turtles during hypoxia, the role of NO signalling in mammals during acclimation to hypoxia, the role of animal-microbial symbioses in the context of seasonal environmental change, and the remodelling response of the vertebrate heart to low temperature.  It is hoped that such integration will provide new mechanistic insight into the strategies and limitations of physiological function during environmental change. Confirmed Speakers Hannah Carey (University of Wisconsin) Annual Journal of Thermal Biology Lecturer Leslie Buck (University of Toronto) Keynote Speaker Martin Feelisch (University of Southampton) Keynote Speaker & Invited talks by Robert Henning (University of Groningen) Jonathan Stecyk (University of Alaska), Chris Moyes (Queens University)
