Postdoctoral researcher at Helsinki university interested in insect responses to changing environments. Currently working on urban evolution and seasonal plasticity! 🦋🐛
We found no signs of beneficial acclimation, but Spanish female butterflies had a higher tolerance to food restriction and lived longer💪

This shows the Importance of considering factors like genetic background and sex for stress tolerance

We were interested in whether genetic background and developmental temperature would affect stress tolerance in the Granville fritillary butterfly🦋. Important especially with temperatures getting hotter worldwide!
