Interactions between thermal and nutritional stress reveal cryptic adaptive potential

This study shows that adaptive potential in Drosophila depends on interactions between temperature and nutritional stress, revealing environment-dependent genetic variation.

Local adaptation in climate tolerance at a small geographic scale contrasts with broad latitudinal patterns

The paper compares climate tolerance variation across a broad latitudinal gradient and local environmental heterogeneity in Drosophila melanogaster, finding similar levels of adaptation at both scales.

Variation in temperature but not diet determines the stability of latitudinal clines in tolerance traits and their plasticity

This study shows that temperature, not diet, shapes latitudinal clines in stress tolerance traits and their plasticity in Drosophila melanogaster.

Assessing the effect of experimental evolution under combined thermal-nutritional stress on larval thermotolerance and thermal plasticity in Drosophila melanogaster

This study examines how combined thermal and nutritional stress affects larval thermotolerance and thermal plasticity in Drosophila melanogaster through experimental evolution.
