    Tnn pepnns and abstracts in this volume were Presnted at a seminaron..Physiological systems in semiarid Environments" at the univer-sity of New Mexico on November 9, 10, and I l, 196?, under my direotion. The seminar was supported by Grant cz-660 from the NationalScience Foundation. tts bLlectives were (i) to stimulate rerearctr inphysiological sy$tems of plants and animals in semiarid areas, (ii) toexplore possibilities for integrated research and teaching prqgramsin-colleges situated in or near semiarid areas, and (iii) to facilitatepetroo*l communication among investigators and students in thesouthwestern United States.The principal addresses, by D. Bruce Dill, Frits W. Went, and G'Edgar folk, Jr., provided perspective and created an atmosphere thatfacllirated .i"trittgu of idias ind recognition of the need for and di'recdon for future research.I hope students of biology, as they read these articles, will note thefollowing points.l. Numerous clues for future study are gained by an historical approach to problems.- 2. Orgnisms living in semiarid environments may be adapted tomot. thitt one aspeci of the environment, for example, heat, mois'ture, salt concentrations, and low atmospheric Pre{sure.3. There is a need to lelate biological systems at various levels oforganization. Survival of individuals or species in an environmentmay be dependent on one or more characteristics Present in molecu'lar, tissue, crgan, system, whole'organism, or community level$. Thereis real need ior invesrigators (i) to describe environments in quanti-rative terms, (ii) to integrate information from various levels of bio'logical organization, and (iii) to design complimentary field and lab-oratory experiments,4. Deseit aninrals and plants may not be subject to stress becausespecies characteristics and physiological adaptations make them wellruit"a for life in environments which for other organisms may bestres$ful to the extent of being lethal' "Kangaroo rats appear to beh"ppy animals."
