Acclimation temperature affects thermal reaction norms for energy reserves in Drosophila

Abstract Organisms have evolved various physiological mechanisms to cope with unfavourable environmental conditions. The ability to tolerate non-optimal thermal conditions can be substantially improved by acclimation. In this study, we examined how an early-life acclimation to different temperatures...
