Our new paper on networks of heat-shock proteins in the tropical slender anole (Anolis apletophallus) was just published in Integrative and Comparative Biology! We found that while exposure to warm temperatures induced an increase in expression of many of the components of heat shock protein networks, increasing magnitude of the heat exposure did not increase the transcriptomic response of heat shock protein networks. Our findings have implications for understanding the potential limits of plasticity of thermal tolerance. Congratulations to first author Kelly Wuthrich publishing this research!
