Summary

This data file contains line mean starvation resistance (LT50 in hours), desiccation resistance (LT50 in hours), cold resistance (mortality out of 10), lipid content (proportion of body weight) and thorax length (mm) for four Queensland and three Tasmanian Drosophila melanogaster populations collected in 1997 (Fig. 2). Note longitudes in data are approximate.
