... Intertidal zone Ramping rate Intertidal communities of wave-swept rocky shores have long served as a model system for experimental ecology, in large part because of the physical extremes the habitat exposes organisms to on a daily basis. When the tide is in, organisms are subjected...

... an unresponsive state and occurred at ambient temperatures of approximately 52–55°C (42–44°C core temperatures). Measurements of CT min and CT max were largely unaffected by acclimation, age or feeding status, but faster ramping rates significantly increased CT max and decreased CT min . This high-throughput...

.... Heat shock genes were upregulated more with a slow compared with a faster ramping rate, and heat knock-down tolerance was higher in flies exposed to the faster rate. The fact that slow ramping induces a stronger stress response (Hsp expression) compared with faster ramping suggests that slow ramping...
