The paper develops a multispecies qPCR chip to assess acute thermal stress effects on three Acipenser sturgeon species, finding species- and population-specific mRNA expression changes.

This study examines how rising CO2 and temperature affect lake sturgeon development, finding altered transcriptional patterns and reduced metabolic rates under combined stressors.

The paper shows that higher temperatures reduce transcriptional plasticity in lake sturgeon populations, with southern populations showing greater plasticity than northern ones.
