Evolution in chronic cold: varied loss of cellular response to heat in Antarctic notothenioid fish

Abstract Background Confined within the freezing Southern Ocean, the Antarctic notothenioids have evolved to become both cold adapted and cold specialized. A marked signature of cold specialization is an apparent loss of the cellular heat shock response (HSR). As the HSR has been examined in very fe...
