PARENT SESSION
Thursday, August 10, 8:00-11:30 am
Symposium 16 - Thermal physiology as a biogeographic determinant: historical and mechanistic perspectives
Cotton Row, Mezzanine Level, Cook Convention Center
Organized by: SE Gilman (gilmans@u.washington.edu), J Stillman, and J Tewksbury

This symposium aims to improve our ability to predict species' responses to climate change by exploring how temperature influences organisms at physiological, ecological, and biogeographic spatial and temporal scales.
