Plastic responses to four environmental stresses and cross-resistance in a laboratory population of Drosophila melanogaster (2012, background): “It has been concluded that beneficial acclimation is not a universal rule, and a combination of alternative hypotheses should be tested to explain the observed patterns of acclimation (Huey & Berrigan 1996; Huey et al. 1999; Wilson & Franklin 2002; Marais & Chown 2008).”
Phenotypic flexibility and the evolution of organismal design (2003, neutral): “A similar problem haunts discussions of experimental studies of ‘acclimation’ and ‘acclimatization’, the adjustments of physiological traits to ambient environmental conditions in the laboratory and the field, respectively [18, 19 ,20].”
Vulnerability to climate warming and acclimation capacity of tropical and temperate coastal organisms (2016, background): “The ability to acclimate results from existing phenotypic plasticity in populations and it is an important mechanism for coping with environmental temperature changes (Wilson and Franklin, 2002; Lucassen et al., 2006).”
Handbook of protocols for standardized measurement of terrestrial invertebrate functional traits (2017, neutral): “As trait plasticity can occur during an organism’s ontogeny (e.g. Wilson & Franklin 2002), it might be sometimes necessary to raise animals under controlled conditions (controlled environmental rooms) and measure traits in individuals born into these rooms.”
How ants acclimate: Impact of climatic conditions on the cuticular hydrocarbon profile (2018, result): “This hypothesis has been tested in a number of organisms with supporting results in some (Fischer, Brakefield, & Zwaan, 2003; Geister & Fischer, 2007), but also contradicting results in others (Terblanche & Kleynhans, 2009; Wilson & Franklin, 2002; Wilson, Hammill, & Johnston, 2007).”
Poor acclimation capacities in Antarctic marine ectotherms (2010, background): “It is a laboratory-based proxy for acclimatisation, the physiological response to changes in environmental variables in the field ( Wilson and Franklin 2002 ).”
