Temperature acclimation in poikilotherms has been the subject of several recent reviews and symposia. Many of the acclimation phenomena occurring at the organismal or organ level have been shown to be accompanied by corresponding compensatory cellular changes. However, only in a few instances has thermal acclimation also been demonstrated to occur in isolated surviving tissues of animals (Precht & Christophersen, 1965; Lagerspetz & Dubitscher, 1966; Schlieper, 1966). In these cases of acclimation the mechanism of acclimation thus operates on the cellular or tissue level.
