Experience Modulates the Reproductive Response to Heat Stress in C. elegans via Multiple Physiological Processes

Abstract excerpt

Natural environments are considerably more variable than laboratory settings and often involve transient exposure to stressful conditions. To fully understand how organisms have evolved to respond to any given stress, prior experience must therefore be considered. We investigated the effects of individual and ancestral experience on C. elegans reproduction. We documented ways in which cultivation at 15°C or 25°C...
