From: Physiological mechanisms of dehydration tolerance contribute to the invasion potential of Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann) (Diptera: Tephritidae) relative to its less widely distributed congeners

Fig. 3

Water remaining at death (dehydration tolerance) in Ceratitis capitata (a), C. cosyra (b) and C. rosa (c) after having been starved at different temperatures and levels of relative humidity. Water at death was predicted from a general linear model that included an estimate of initial water content as a covariate to account for water available to be lost. Line colour represents the sexes: black = female, grey = male. Line style represents temperature: dashed = 25 °C, solid = 30 °C
