Fig. 1. Comparison of the reproductive activity of control versus rapidly
cold-hardened (RCH) D. melanogaster tested at 16°C. Immediately
prior to the mating trial, RCH pairs (N=20) were acclimated to
16°C for 2 h, while control pairs (N=22) were transferred from
23°C to 16°C immediately prior to the 1-h observation period.
Asterisks denote significant differences from control (
2,
P<0.05).
