Pronounced Plastic and Evolutionary Responses to Unpredictable Thermal Fluctuations in Drosophila simulans Sørensen et al. 2020 Research Article

"Here, we investigate evolutionary adaptation and environmentally induced plastic responses of Drosophila simulans to no fluctuations (constant), predictable fluctuations or unpredictable fluctuations in temperature."

"We whole-genome sequenced populations exposed to 20 generations of experimental evolution under the three thermal regimes and examined the proteome after short-term exposure to the same three regimes."

"We find that unpredictable fluctuations cause the strongest response at both genome and proteome levels."

"Genes under selection in fluctuating thermal environments are distinct from genes important for the adaptive plastic response observed within a generation."
