This volume investigates the multifaceted impacts of environmental pressure on biological organisms. Drawing on research presented at the Society for Experimental Biology Symposium, it explores how various forms of pressure, from hydrostatic to atmospheric, influence physiological and biochemical processes. The collection aims to synthesize current understanding and highlight areas for future research in ecophysiology and environmental biology.

This collection of papers from the Society for Experimental Biology Symposium offers a focused examination of pressure's role in biological systems. It is likely to be of interest to researchers and advanced students in ecophysiology, marine biology, and environmental science. The depth of the studies suggests a specialized audience rather than a general readership.
