This blog post is provided by Ignacio Peralta-Maraver and tells the #StoryBehindThePaper for the article “Warm acclimation reduces the sensitivity of Drosophila species to heat stress at ecologically relevant scales”, which was recently published in the Journal of Animal Ecology. In their study, Ignacio and colleagues tested the acclimation capacity of four Drosophila species, revealing that it is closely associated with temperatures experienced during their development. … Continue reading Rethinking how acclimation shapes ectotherm survival in a warming world
