Editor’s summary
The increased thermo-tolerance observed in 2La larvae following heat hardening suggests higher responsiveness of the inverted karyotype. By responding more drastically to the heat shock, 2La larvae are better equipped to resist the potentially lethal temperatures that occur in arid habitats.
