Resting metabolic rate data for male oriental fruit flies, <i>Bactrocera dorsalis</i> (Hendel) (Diptera: Tephritidae) fed different diets containing semiochemicals

<p>Resting metabolic rate data and R scripts for the analysis presenting in:</p> <p>Dacre et al., (2024) The effects of diet and semiochemical exposure on male Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel) (Diptera: Tephritidae) metabolic rate at a range of temperatures. Journal of Insect Physiology and underpinned a dissertation title "Metabolic rate and tethered flight perfomanace of male Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel) (Diptera: Tephritidae) fed nutritional and semiochemical supplements".</p> <p><br></p> <p>RMR_Data_DDacre.xlsx contains four spreadsheets:</p> <ol> <li>Info. A summary of the treatments and how data were collected.</li> <li>RMR (Fertile). Data on CO2 emission and body weight of fertile male B. dorsalis fed two diets in which semiochemicals were also mixed.</li> <li>Fertile_Sterile. Data on CO2 emission and body weight of sterile and fertile male B. dorsalis fed only a single diet and no semiochemicals.</li> <li>EXP. Data on CO2 emission and body weight of fertile male B. dorsalis exposed to semiochemicals for different durations before testing.</li> </ol> <p>RMR_analysis.r and RMR_analysis.rproj contain scripts for analysis of the data using R.</p>
