cyclopentadiene

Why is cyclopentadiene monomer more stable at higher temperatures although dicyclopentadiene (dimer) is more stable at lower temperatures?  Also, given that cyclopentadiene monomer is more stable at higher temps, why is it necessary to keep monomer cold in order to prevent its conversion back to dimer?
