Fig. 1. Experimental outline and survival of DGRP across the six diets.
a The experimental outline. 196 lines of the Drosophila melanogaster genetic reference panel (DGRP) were raised on six different diets: high-protein (HPD), high-sugar (HSD), high-fat-coconut-oil (HFDcoco), high-fat-lard (HFDlard), Western (WD), and high-starch (HStD). First-instar larvae were collected onto the diets in a controlled density of 30 larvae per vial, and at four replicate vials per diet. The experiment was run in cohorts of 10 strains (all diets at the same time). Pupation was monitored daily to establish pupation kinetics of each strain across the diets and finally total eclosion was scored two weeks after. HPD was composed of 10% (w/v) dry baker’s yeast, and the other diets had the same amount of yeast as a base. HSD was supplemented with 20% (w/v) sucrose, HFDcoco with 20% (w/v) coconut oil, HFDlard with 20% (w/v) lard, WD with 10% (w/v) sucrose and 10% (w/v) lard, and HStD with 20% (w/v) potato starch. b Survival of the 196 DGRP strains to pupal stage (pupation) and to adult (eclosion) across the six diets. Pupation rate standard deviations (among lines) of 0.194 (HSD), 0.188 (HFDcoco), 0.162 (WD), 0.145 (HPD), 0.144 (HFDlard), and 0.140 (HStD). Eclosion rate standard deviations (among lines) of 0.211 (HSD), 0.203 (HFDcoco), 0.166 (HPD), 0.138 (HStD), 0.099 (HFDlard), and 0.092 (WD). c HPD-normalized survival of the 196 DGRP strains to pupal stage (pupation) and to adult (eclosion) across the other five diets.
