Abstract *

<p>Adaptations to warming conditions exhibited by ectotherms include increasing heat tolerance but also metabolic changes to reduce maintenance costs (metabolic depression), which can allow them to redistribute the energy surplus to biological functions close to fitness. Currently, there is evidence that energy metabolism evolves in response to warming conditions but we know little about how the rate of temperature change during heat stress determines the evolutionary response of metabolism and the consequences on life-history traits. Here, we evaluated the evolutionary response of energy metabolism (metabolic rate and activity of enzymes of the glucose-6-phosphate branchpoint) and life-history traits to artificial selection for increasing heat tolerance in <em>Drosophila subobscura</em>, using two different thermal selection protocols for heat tolerance: slow and fast ramping protocols. We found that the increase in heat thermal tolerance was associated with a reduction of the hexokinase activity in the slow-ramping selected lines, and a slight reduction of the glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase activity in the fast-ramping selected lines. We also found that the evolution of increased heat tolerance increased the early fecundity in selected lines and increased the egg-to-adult viability only in the slow-ramping selected lines. However, heat tolerance evolution was not associated with changes in the metabolic rate in selected populations. This work shows heat tolerance can evolve under different thermal scenarios but with different evolutionary outcomes on associated traits depending on the intensity of thermal stress. Therefore, spatial and temporal variability of thermal stress intensity should be taken into account to understand and predict the adaptive response to ongoing and future climatic conditions.</p>
