Sex-dependent latent chilling injury changes estimates of thermal tolerance in a model insect

Mahmoud I. El-Saadi, Mitchell C. Allen, Heath Andrew MacMillan

This study shows that latent chilling injury in Drosophila melanogaster is sex-specific and influenced by prior thermal acclimation and recovery temperature.
