The of induction of the heat shock was examined flies temperature response by conditioning to different high temperatures in the range 34 to 40°C prior to exposing them to heat shock (41.5°C for 0.5 h). Stress resistance appeared to be related to climate: populations from warm regions were the most heat tolerant and those from cold regions were the most cold tolerant. This trend suggests that natural selection in the wild at non-extreme can lead to a correlated in tolerance to extreme temperatur
