Extended Data Fig. 6

Death kinetics of Mediterranean fruit fly (MFF) larvae: (a) Survivor plot of MFF larvae on a logarithmic scale versus the time of exposure (days) at three temperatures (1, 2 and 3 °C). Here, the dotted red line indicates the Probit 9 requirement (99.99683% mortality at 95% confidence interval); (b) Corresponding decimal reduction times or D-value (DT, day) for estimating the temperature dependence as z-value. The z-value is the temperature difference required to change the D-value by a factor of 10.
