Abstract:Recent studies suggest that elevated temperatures interact with nutrition to exacerbate the negative effects of poor nutrition. Furthermore, populations adapted to distinct environments differ in their sensitivity to combined thermal and nutritional stress. However, most studies have tested these effects using constant temperatures, even though animals in the wild experience daily and seasonal thermal fluctuations. Here, we used two locally-adapted populations ofD. melanogasterfrom the east coast of Australia … Show more
