   Aug 18, 2009 · In Chapter 1, I proposed a definition of extreme organisms by reference to the life boxes of organisms: the range of physical conditions under which they exist (the non-biological features of their ecological niche). I also proposed that we could recognise two groups of extreme organisms.

   'Life at the Extremes' encompasses the exploration of organisms, environments, people and societies that exist in environments that are considered exceptionally challenging or harsh, such as extreme temperatures, high altitudes, areas of low nutrient availability and societies recovering from natural disasters.

   These organisms have an extreme biology, which involves many aspects of their physiology, ecology and evolution. In this captivating account, the reader is taken on a tour of extreme environments, and shown the remarkable abilities of organisms to survive a range of extreme conditions, such as high and low temperatures and desiccation.

   How do extreme environments affect organisms?

   • Extreme environments affect the responses of organisms at many levels, from the structure of their proteins and membranes, to the ways in which they carry out their lives, their interactions with their environment and other organisms, and their life history, behaviour and evolution.

   What are extreme habitats?

   • Extreme habitats are largely defined not only by extreme highs and lows in abiotic/physical characteristics including temperature, pressure, pH, oxygen saturation, salinity, but can also be influenced by biological characteristics such as low nutrition, high population density, or low prey availability ( Rothschild and Mancinelli 2001 ).

   What is the biology of extremophiles?

   • Historically, little has been known about the biology of extremophiles due to the inaccessibility of their habitats. Recent advances in sampling technology, concerns over climate change and renewed interest in extreme habitats such as the deep sea for industrial purposes, have helped begin to improve sampling capability.

   What are the most 'extreme' environments on Earth?

   • Some of the most “extreme” environments on Earth include hot springs, the deep sea, desert ponds, and waters with little to no oxygen. This symposium united microbiologists, physiologists, and evolutionary biologists to present cutting edge research representing the breadth of extremophile biology.

   How easy is it to measure eurythermal temperature?

   • In principle such measurements are relatively easy to perform, though care must be taken when choosing the rate of thermal ramping and the starting temperature for the experiments (Terblanche et al. 2007, Rezende et al. 2011). Eurythermal: Organisms capable of tolerating a wide thermal range.
