Desiccation and cold tolerance in D. suzukii and D. melanogaster. (a) Desiccation resistance was significantly higher in D. melanogaster compared with D. suzukii and in females compared with males for both species (P < 0.0001; log‐rank test; n = 90 − 130 flies for each Drosophila species). (b) Phenotype of D. suzukii desiccated for 18 h and water loss for D. melanogaster and D. suzukii exposed to desiccation. A significant increase in water loss was seen in D. suzukii flies; *P < 0.05. (c) Survival curves for D. melanogaster and D. suzukii. Cold tolerance was significantly higher in D. melanogaster compared with D. suzukii, while no sex effect was apparent. Drosophila melanogaster is indicated by the blue lines and D. suzukii by the red lines. For each species, females are indicated by the block line and males by the dashed line.
