Wide diversity in the environmental stress response

Three species of Antarctic marine invertebrate: Nacella concinna (limpet), Paraceradocus miersi (crustacean) and Sterechinus neumayeri (urchin) were subjected to three different rates of warming and a two month acclimation trial at 2 degrees Celsius. The rates of warming were 1 degree Celsius per hour, 1 degree Celsius per day and 1 degree Celsius per 3 days. Animals were evaluated to determine whether there was a universal stress response at the cellular level. Funding was provided from the BAS Core Funding, the UKRI Natural Environment Research Council (NERC).

三种南极海洋无脊椎动物——康氏帽贝（Nacella concinna，limpet）、米氏副角钩虾（Paraceradocus miersi，crustacean）与纽氏星海胆（Sterechinus neumayeri，urchin）——被施以三种不同升温速率处理，并在2摄氏度条件下开展了为期两个月的驯化试验。三种升温速率依次为每小时1摄氏度、每日1摄氏度及每3天1摄氏度。本研究对受试动物进行评估，以明确其是否存在细胞层面的通用应激反应。研究经费由英国南极调查局（BAS）核心经费以及英国研究与创新署自然环境研究委员会（NERC，Natural Environment Research Council）提供。
