Experimental evolution under combined thermal-nutritional stress in Drosophila melanogaster results in evolved shifts in larval thermotolerance and thermal plasticity

YMM Choy, T Kutz, FE Cockerell, E Lombardi… - bioRxiv, 2024 - biorxiv.org
Animals are facing increasing thermal and nutritional stress under climate change. Genetic
adaptation is necessary to buffer long-term stress. However, it's unclear whether adaptation …

H Weaving - 2023 - research-information.bris.ac.uk
Extreme heatwaves are becoming more frequent and intense, whist the reverse is true for
extreme cold events (IPCC, 2021). The upper and lower critical thermal limits of animals …
