Thermal variability alters climatic stress resistance and plastic responses in a globally invasive pest, the Mediterranean fruit fly (Ceratitis capitata) (2010, methodology): “For all thermal tolerance assays, flies of mixed genders were used, as sex does not play a significant role with respect to thermal tolerance in this species (Nyamukondiwa & Terblanche, 2009).”
Within‐generation variation of critical thermal limits in adult Mediterranean and Natal fruit flies Ceratitis capitata and Ceratitis rosa: thermal history affects short‐term responses to temperature (2010, methodology): “Mixed sex flies were employed in thermal tolerance assays because sex does not appear to affect CTLs in either species (Nyamukondiwa & Terblanche, 2009).”
Phenotypic plasticity of thermal tolerance contributes to the invasion potential of Mediterranean fruit flies (Ceratitis capitata) (2010, background): “All flies used in thermal tolerance experiments were of a similar age (24–48 h old) and had access to food and water ad libitum, but were of mixed genders since sex does not appear to affect thermal tolerance in either species (Nyamukondiwa & Terblanche, 2009).”
Time-course for attainment and reversal of acclimation to constant temperature in two Ceratitis species (2011, background): “Acclimation for 7 days to 30 or 20 1C, after being initially held at 25 1C, led to improved heat tolerance and cold resistance, respectively (Nyamukondiwa and Terblanche, 2009).”
