Variation in the sensitivity of organismal body temperature to climate change over local and geographic scales.

abstract：:Clonal expansion of premalignant lesions is an important step in the progression to cancer. This process is commonly considered to be a consequence of sustaining a proliferative mutation. Here, we investigate whether the growth trajectory of clones can be better described by a model in which clone growth does not depe...
