CHILL COMA ASSAY AND EVOLUTION INVESTIGATION
... At low temperatures, insects and other ectotherms lose their mobility; this is called a chill coma. The temperature at which chill coma is induced varies by species, but for D. melanogaster, all populations lose mobility when exposed to 0°C for more than 5 minutes (Gibert et al. 2001). Once brought ...
