Phenotyping data comes from
Supp. Table S2 in the
Supporting information section.
The radiation source was a commercial Cs
137 irradiator emitting 662 keV gamma photons, and the irradiator was calibrated using a PTW N31010 ionization chamber. Survival was defined as the ability of males to fly 24 hours post-irradiation, and survival time was expressed in percentage as the mean of two trials.
Important note: We've loaded the raw data, but the data were weirdly reported in Table S2. We realized that we had to double the survival ratio values to make it work (i.e. being able to reproduce not only the mean values, but also the standard deviation and coefficient of variation provided by the authors)...
Note: The authors also report
Wolbachia status, but it comes from another study, so we don't report it here
(MacKay et al., 2012). They also report temporal phenotypic stability (after 5 months) of 12 highly resistant lines (Supp. Table S5), but given the sparsity of the data, we also don't report it here.
