Zusammenfassung:Synopsis Throughout their lives, organisms must integrate and maintain stability across complex developmental, morphological, and physiological systems, all while responding to changing internal and external environments. Determining the mechanisms underlying organismal responses to environmental change and development is a major challenge for biology. This is particularly important in the face of the rapidly changing global climate, increasing human populations, and habitat destruction. In January 2024, we organized a symposium to highlight some current efforts to use modeling to understand organismal responses to short- and long-term changes in their internal and external environments. Our goal was to facilitate collaboration and communication between modelers and organismal biologists, which is one of the major aims of the Organismal Systems-type Modeling Research Coordination Network, OSyM. Accompanying this introduction are a series of papers that are aimed to enhance research and education in linking organismal biology and modeling and contribute to building a new community of scientists to tackle important questions using this approach.
