From deep ocean trenches and the geographical poles to outer space,
organisms can be found living in remarkably extreme conditions.
This book provides a captivating account of these systems and their
extraordinary inhabitants, 'extremophiles'. A diverse,
multidisciplinary group of experts discuss responses and
adaptations to change; biodiversity, bioenergetic processes, and
biotic and abiotic interactions; polar environments; and life and
habitability, including searching for biosignatures in the
extraterrestrial environment. The editors emphasize that
understanding these systems is important for increasing our
knowledge and utilizing their potential, but this remains an
understudied area. Given the threat to these environments and their
biota caused by climate change and human impact, this timely book
also addresses the urgency to document these systems. It will help
graduate students and researchers in conservation, marine biology,
evolutionary biology, environmental change and astrobiology better
understand how life exists in these environments and their
susceptibility or resilience to change.
