Pervasive and dynamic release of Cryptic Genetic Variation in Chironomus riparius: Rethinking adaptation in fluctuating environments

This study shows that cryptic genetic variation in Chironomus riparius is dynamically released across a temperature gradient, challenging the idea that such variation only emerges under extreme conditions.

Dissecting Oxidative Stress and Organismic Response to various Temperature Regimes in the midge C. riparius

This study measures ROS production in midge larvae across temperatures, finding distinct oxidative stress mechanisms at cold and warm extremes and adaptive antioxidant responses.
