Fascinating article- exciting times!

Limited thermal tolerance in tropical insects and its genomic signature - Nature A survey of tropical insect populations and thermal tolerance limits indicates that species from lowland areas have low capacity to survive increased temperatures, and that thermal tolerance is limited by fundamental properties of protein architecture.

Exciting findings in the side-blotched lizard system, which I studied for my PhD. It was a joy working with several of these authors all those years ago, and especially the late great Barry Sinervo, who would have loved to see and help interpret these results. 👏👏👏👏
