Summary

This data file contains cage means for mortality rates (MR) and egg laying rates (ELR) per female and day for field cages held at temperate winter conditions for seven Drosophila melanogaster populations collected in 2000. In addition, average, minimum and maximum temperature (°C) records and time since the cages were established (days) are shown (Fig. 1a). Note longitudes in data are approximate.
