Co)variation of microbial thermal traits across the thermokinetic range of life on Earth
TL;DRAbstract
• Mridul Thomas and Colin Kremer • Carolyn Hamman • MSU Institute for Cyber Enabled Research Among their greatest evolutionary achievements are those allowing microbes to exist at temperatures ranging from well below 0 to over 100 °C. Understanding patterns in variance and covariance of thermal traits across the range of temperatures at which life is known to exist (and especially of deviations from the patterns) can inform us about the evolutionary innovations and obstacles that may allow or constrain the origin and subsequent diversification of life in extreme environments.
