Abstract excerpt
While numerous insect studies have demonstrated the effects environmental conditions, genetic variation and other factors have on thermal resistance, often showing patterns consistent with adaptive plasticity and local adaptation, few experiments have considered the effects of multiple factors simultaneously. Here however, we have investigated the impact of sex, rearing conditions, hardening, population, and...
