Adaptation of Drosophila to temperature extremes: bringing together quantitative and molecular approaches
TLDR
The way the Drosophila research has been used to understand the evolution of plastic responses, tradeoffs and limits to selection, and to develop links between laboratory studies and adaptive shifts leading to population and species differences is examined.About:

Climate change and evolutionary adaptation
Ary A. Hoffmann,Carla M. Sgrò +1 more
TL;DR: The challenges to understand when evolution will occur and to identify potential evolutionary winners as well as losers, such as species lacking adaptive capacity living near physiological limits can be met through realistic models of evolutionary change linked to experimental data across a range of taxa.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanistic niche modelling: combining physiological and spatial data to predict species' ranges.
TL;DR: Here, the principles of biophysical ecology can be used to link spatial data to the physiological responses and constraints of organisms, which provides a mechanistic view of the fundamental niche which can then be mapped to the landscape to infer range constraints.
Journal ArticleDOI
The physiology of climate change: how potentials for acclimatization and genetic adaptation will determine 'winners' and 'losers'.
TL;DR: This work states that local extinctions from heat death may be offset by in-migration of genetically warm-adapted conspecifics from mid-latitude ‘hot spots’, where midday low tides in summer select for heat tolerance.
Journal ArticleDOI
The evolutionary and ecological role of heat shock proteins
TL;DR: It is suggested that the expression level of Hsp in each species and population is a balance between benefits and costs, i.e. a negative impact on growth, development rate and fertility as a result of overexpression of Hsps.

Predicting organismal vulnerability to climate warming: roles of behaviour, physiology and adaptation
Raymond B. Huey,Michael R. Kearney,Andrew K. Krockenberger,Joseph A. M. Holtum,Mellissa Jess,Stephen E. Williams +5 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that ectotherms sharing vulnerability traits seem concentrated in lowland tropical forests and their vulnerability may be exacerbated by negative biotic interactions, as genetic and selective data are scant.

Introduction to quantitative genetics
TL;DR: The genetic constitution of a population: Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium and changes in gene frequency: migration mutation, changes of variance, and heritability are studied.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phylogenies and the Comparative Method
TL;DR: A method of correcting for the phylogeny has been proposed, which specifies a set of contrasts among species, contrasts that are statistically independent and can be used in regression or correlation studies.
