Nutrient storage links past thermal exposure to current performance in phytoplankton.

Abstract excerpt

The growth of populations and organisms often depends on their previous history of environmental exposure: a phenomenon referred to as "phenotypic memory." The field of ecology presently lacks a mechanistic theory describing phenotypic memory and, as such, evaluating the ecological consequences of this phenomenon is a major challenge. Here, we show that internal nutrient storage connects past thermal experience...
