High-throughput multispecies qPCR assays to study the effects of acute thermal stress in three species of Acipenser sturgeon

Hossein Haghighi, Kyle Madden, William S. Bugg…·Kenneth M. Jeffries

The paper develops a multispecies qPCR chip to assess acute thermal stress effects on three Acipenser sturgeon species, finding species- and population-specific mRNA expression changes.

Elevated temperatures reduce population-specific transcriptional plasticity in developing lake sturgeon (Acipenser fulvescens)

William S. Bugg, Matt J. Thorstensen, Katie Elizabeth Marshall…·Ken M. Jeffries

The paper shows that higher temperatures reduce transcriptional plasticity in lake sturgeon populations, with southern populations showing greater plasticity than northern ones.
