We explored the potential underlying mechanisms of improved reproduction in a coral reef fish when exposed to a step-wise increase in temperature across generations. Expression of reproductive genes revealed that gonadotropin receptor genes, Lhcgr and Fshr , in male gonads are associated with reproductive plasticity.
