Data from:
Behrman, E.L., K.R. O’Brien, S.M. Heshel and P.S. Schmidt. Seasonal life history adaptation in
two species of Drosophila, Journal of Evolutionary Biology.
Measurements on Wild Flies:

Development time (pupation and eclosion)
Measurements on Common Garden Flies (isofemale lines reared in standard laboratory
conditions 25ºC, 12:12 light:dark, cornmeal molasses food for 4-5 generations):

Starvation
Heat knockdown
Chill recovery

Sex: F=female, M=male
Species: species, as determined by F1 male. M= Drosophila melanogaster, S= Drosophila

Death_Day: Day of death. For wild caught individuals measures the post-capture survivorship,
for F1 individuals this is the full lifespan

Sex: sex of the developing individual. F=female, M=male, NA=did not hatch from pupa
Species: species, as determined by F1 male. M= Drosophila melanogaster, S= Drosophila
simulans, NA=no male F1 offspring to assess species
Generation: generations in the laboratory before assessing development time. F1= first
generation of flies in the laboratory, developing from the eggs laid by wild-caught individuals
during the first 24 hours of captivity. CG=Common Garden – isofemale lines maintained in
common garden conditions described above)
Pupa: Hours to pupation *note: only measured on F1 flies.
Adult: Hours to adult eclosion *note: pupa and adult times do not match for individuals and
must be analyzed separately
Density: Number of eggs in the vial *note only measured on F1 flies
