Evaluating the effects of short-term low temperature on the growth and development of Trichopria drosophilae based on the age–stage two-sex life table

We studied how short-term exposure to low temperatures affects the mating behavior of the parasite Trichopria drosophilae and found that it disrupts their mating process.Using data on age and developmental stage, we developed a two-sex life table for T. drosophilae under short-term low temperatures.Our findings indicate that short-term low temperatures reduce the population growth of T. drosophilae.
