Thermal cues drive plasticity of desiccation resistance in montane salamanders with implications for climate change
Climate change will threaten plants and animals across the planet by increasing the risk of desiccation. Here, authors demonstrate that salamanders regulate water loss using temperature-sensitive gene expression related to blood vessel regeneration and skin lipids.
