Expression data from adult Drosophila melanogaster males

ABSTRACT: We used microarrays to investigate the transcriptome of 6 days old male flies exposed to either 15 or 25 C development at either constant or fluctuating temperatures. Further, we investigated gene expression at benign (20C) and high (35C) temperatures With global climate change temperature means and variability are expected to increase. Thus, exposures to elevated temperatures are expected to become an increasing challenge for terrestrial ectotherm populations. While evolutionary adaptation seems to be constrained or proceed at an insufficient pace, many populations are expected to rely on phenotypic plasticity (thermal acclimation) for coping with the predicted changes. However, the effects of fluctuating temperature on the molecular mechanisms and the implications for heat tolerance are
