Abstract

Since its foundation in 1999 by Lawrence Hightower, the Cell Stress Society International (CSSI) has actively promoted international collaboration in the field of stress research. Over the years, the Society has gone from strength to strength, with one of its main, and highly, visible outputs being the journal ‘Cell Stress & Chaperones’. Although initially, the full title of the journal was ‘Cell Stress & Chaperones: An Integrative Journal of Stress Biology and Medicine’ with an emphasis on the medical feld, original scientifc articles were always welcomed from a wide range of organisms and diferent aspects of stress molecular biology. However, in 2020, the sub-title was expanded to ‘An Integrative Journal of Stress Biology, Medicine and the Environment’, in acknowledgement of the increasing importance of understanding the cellular stress response in nonmodel environmental species in the context of the current climate crisis. Initial plans to celebrate the change in subtitle with a special environmental issue were somewhat stymied by the COVID-19 pandemic. However, fnally, 3 years later, we are proud to present this special issue ‘Organisms in a Changing Environment’, which highlights the wide variety of stress response research being carried out in environmental species. In particular, these studies demonstrate how important it is to understand not only the environmental cellular stress response but also their integration with higher levels of biological organisation to understand future biodiversity, and inform conservation measures and policy in our changing world.
