Figure 1

Drosophila melanogaster climbing and flight abilities are reduced following a 10 minute exposure to 100% CO2.

Flies were exposed to 100% CO2 for 10 minutes and allowed to recover for varying times and assayed for the ability to (a) climb and (b) fly. CO2 inhibited climbing at all recovery time points assayed while flight was only reduced through 8 hours. Data points represent the mean ± SEM of the percentage of flies able to climb or fly. Statistical analysis was performed by Student’s t-tests. a = P < 0.001, b = P < 0.01.
