Cellular damage as induced by high temperature is dependent on rate of temperature change - investigating consequences of ramping rates on molecular and organismal phenotypes in Drosophila melanogaster.

Abstract excerpt

Ecological relevance and repeatability of results obtained in different laboratories are key issues when assessing thermal tolerance of ectotherms. Traditionally, assays have used acute exposures to extreme temperatures. The outcomes of ecologically more relevant ramping experiments, however, are dependent on the rate of temperature change leading to uncertainty of the causal factor for loss of function. Here, we...
