Abstract:As temperatures are rising globally, the survival of organisms depends on their tolerance of such rising temperatures as well as resistance to indirect effects such as resource shortage under these new conditions. Genetic background and phenotypic plasticity in the form of acclimation are known to affect stress resistance, but much about genetic variation in plasticity is still unknown, especially in insects other than Drosophila. Here we aim to study the effect of population of origin, developmental temperatu… Show more
