Thermal acclimation uncovers a simple genetic basis of adaptation to high temperature in a cosmopolitan pest

Summary: Understanding a population’s fitness heterogeneity and genetic basis of thermal adaptation is essential for predicting the responses to global warming. We examined the thermotolerance and genetic adaptation of Plutella xylostella to exposure to hot temperatures. The population fitness param...
