Fig. 2. Relationships between the duration of the exposure to –5°C and
(A) the pre-freeze mortality or (B) the recovery time after chill-coma in the
adults of Pyrrhocoris apterus belonging to three different
acclimation groups (LD, SD, SDA; see Fig.
1). In A, each data point represents a mortality rate in the group
of 10–30 individuals [Boltzmann sigmoidal curves were used to fit the
data: LD, R2=0.7103 (goodness of fit); SD,
R2=0.7900]. The arrows show times necessary to kill 50% of
the population sample (Lt50). In B, each data point represents a mean ±
S.E.M. of 10 individuals. The probabilities
that slopes of linear regressions deviate from zero were P<0.001
for all groups.
