We then monitored the time it took for mosquitoes to become immobilized, or the ‘knockdown’ time, using a barcode scanner. For the other half of this design, we heat-shocked mosquitoes from the same families as the aforementioned mosquitoes measured for knockdown for 15 minutes at 42°C to induce stress-based expression. We then examined the expression of key heat shock genes (Hsps) in selected families.2023-02-21T01:56:33+00:00monthlyhttps://carlasgrolab.org/2023/01/03/connecting-research-and-practice-to-enhance-the-evolutionary-potential-of-species-under-climate-change/https://carlasgrolab.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/rustypatchedbumblebee.jpgRustyPatchedBumbleBeeHistorically, the rusty-patched bumble bee (Bombus affinis) was broadly distributed across prairies and grass-land habitats in eastern and upper-midwest Canada and the USA. The species experienced a widespread and steep decline in the early 2000s, precipitating its endangered status. Today, the species is extant in 11 US states and 1 Canadian province, a >50% reduction in its native range. The exact cause of the decline is unknown, but evidence suggests a synergistic interaction between an introduced pathogen and exposure to pesticides.Image credit: Wikimedia Commons2023-02-21T01:47:25+00:00monthlyhttps://carlasgrolab.org/2022/10/08/within%e2%80%90population-variation-in-body-size-plasticity-in-response-to-combined-nutritional-and-thermal-stress-is-partially-independent-from-variation-in-development-time/2023-02-21T01:05:12+00:00monthlyhttps://carlasgrolab.org/contact/2022-12-20T00:20:03+00:00weekly0.6https://carlasgrolab.org/2022/10/05/phylogenetic-and-environmental-patterns-of-sex-differentiation-in-physiological-traits-across-drosophila-species/https://carlasgrolab.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/phylogeneticandenvironmentalpatterns4-upv4.pngPhylogeneticAndEnvironmentalPatterns4-upv42022-12-15T00:40:43+00:00monthlyhttps://carlasgrolab.org/2021/11/27/phylogenomic-analyses-of-the-genus-drosophila-reveals-genomic-signals-of-climate-adaptation/https://carlasgrolab.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/phylogenomicanaysesofdrosophilagenustree402x.pngPhylogenomicAnaysesOfDrosophilaGenusTree@2xPhylogeny and climate niches of the 47 species. Species with names in bold are newly sequenced, those in black are improved by additional sequences generated in this study and those in grey are as previously published. Stars (★)indicate the species for which we added transcriptome data, diamonds (◆) indicates those for which we resequenced multiple individuals. Pie chart areas for each node show the proportions of the three possible topologies for the corresponding branch, with blue denoting the most common topology (i.e., the species tree, as shown) and red and orange the two alternatives (i.e., with each of the two daughter lineages in the species tree as the outgroup instead). The three nodes indicated with red dots are those for which dates had been estimated by Tamura et al. (2004). Climate zones occupied by each species according to the Köppen classification are presented on the right, with the shaded portions denoting presence in that environment.2022-12-14T06:19:54+00:00monthlyhttps://carlasgrolab.org/2022/03/25/sexual-dimorphism-in-phenotypic-plasticity-and-persistence-under-environmental-change-an-extension-of-theory-and-meta%e2%80%90analysis-of-current-data/2022-12-14T05:58:47+00:00monthlyhttps://carlasgrolab.org/2022/04/25/dietary-restriction-and-lifespan-adaptive-reallocation-or-somatic-sacrifice/2022-12-14T05:53:39+00:00monthlyhttps://carlasgrolab.org/2021/12/20/conservation-genetics-as-a-management-tool-the-five-best-supported-paradigms-to-assist-the-management-of-threatened-species/2022-12-14T05:33:47+00:00monthlyhttps://carlasgrolab.org/2022/02/16/target-of-rapamycin-drives-unequal-responses-to-essential-amino-acid-depletion-for-egg-laying-in-drosophila-melanogaster/2022-12-13T03:18:38+00:00monthlyhttps://carlasgrolab.org/2021/10/12/the-proximate-sources-of-genetic-variation-in-body-size-plasticity-the-relative-contributions-of-feeding-behaviour-and-development-in-drosophila-melanogaster/https://carlasgrolab.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/elative-contributions-of-feeding-behaviour-and-development-in-drosophila-melanogaster.pngelative contributions of feeding behaviour and development in Drosophila melanogasterhe different ways in which plastic variation in body size can be generated across organisms.2022-12-13T03:06:42+00:00monthlyhttps://carlasgrolab.org/2021/10/27/temporal-specific-coevolution-of-hsp70-and-co-chaperone-stv-expression-in-drosophila-melanogaster-under-selection-for-heat-tolerance/2022-12-13T02:39:10+00:00monthlyhttps://carlasgrolab.org/2021/06/25/thermal-limits-in-the-face-of-infectious-disease-how-important-are-pathogens/2022-12-09T07:00:52+00:00monthlyhttps://carlasgrolab.org/2021/06/11/supporting-the-adaptive-capacity-of-species-through-more-effective-knowledge-exchange-with-conservation-practitioners/https://carlasgrolab.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/conservationpractitionersdiagrams402x.pngConservationPractitionersDiagrams@2xLeft: A robust evidence base to support successful management practices, based on an incremental scaling up in spatial extent and ecological complexity.
