Animals Response to Extreme Environments
Extreme environments, such as high altitudes, low oxygen, low or high temperatures, drought, and high humidity, exist in many of animal production regions worldwide. Understanding how animals adapt to extreme environments is an interesting question in physiological genomics and stress biology. Animals can adapt to these harsh environments through physiological, morphological, behavioral, and molecualr responses, singly or in combinations. To sustain the environment and livestock production, it is necessary to understand the genomic, molecular, and physiological mechanisms underlying the adaptation/resistance/tolerance of animals to such harsh environments.
In line with the theme of the Stress Biology journal, the current special issue “Animals Response to Extreme Environments” aims at covering topics, including but not limited to (i) domestic and wild animals responses to and interactions with extreme environments; (ii) uncovering and piecing together the genomic determinisms, molecular mechanisms, and physiological processes of animal adaptations to extreme environments; and (iii) application of modern technologies/strategies to ameliorate animal adaptation and production in the regions with extreme environments.
