The mode and repeatability of thermal adaptation in gene expression in the seed beetle Callosobruchus maculatus

Transcriptional plasticity can maintain organismal homeostasis but its potential to buffer negative effects from climate change remains contentious and may rely on genetic adaptation.

Transcriptional plasticity can maintain organismal homeostasis but its potential to buffer negative effects from climate change remains contentious and may rely on genetic adaptation. Theory predicts two general outcomes: genetic reinforcement, where adaptive plasticity is…
