Description
The effect of thermal acclimation on cold and heat tolerance of the peach fruit fly (Bactrocera zonata) was studied. Males and females were acclimated at 20, 25 and 30°C for up to 19 days following adult emergence. The critical thermal minimum (CTmin) and maximum (CTmax) were subsequently recorded as well adult survival following acute exposure to chilling (0 or -3°C for 2 hours). Additionally, the survival of pupae subjected for two hours to temperatures ranging from -12°C to 5°C was determined.
The raw data collected during this study is available in the provided data file.
