Heat shock proteins are a family of genes classically used to measure levels of organism stress. We have previously identified two HSP70 genes (HSP70A and HSP70B) in subtidal populations of the Antarctic limpet (Nacella concinna). These genes are up regulated in response to increased seawater temper...
