Data from: Adult dietary experience influences mortality of the pest melon fly, Zeugodacus cucurbitae (Diptera: Tephritidae), to an ingested toxin

In this study, we investigated how protein deprivation following adult emergence influences lethal and sublethal effects of boric acid on the pest tephritid melon fly, Zeugodacus cucurbitae. We performed a series of experiments to address the impact of prior diet on mortality, diet consumption, enzymes involved in detoxification and antioxidation, and fly activity. Newly emerged melon fly adults were provided either diet containing 3:1 sucrose:yeast hyrdrolysate or just sucrose for three days prior to bioassays. The raw data from the bioassays and R scripts for the analyses are provided.

在本项研究中，我们探讨了成虫期蛋白质剥夺对害虫瓜实蝇（Zeugodacus cucurbitae）硼酸的致命与非致命效应的影响。我们通过一系列实验来探究先前饮食对死亡率、饮食消耗、参与解毒与抗氧化的酶类以及飞行动作的影响。在生物测定前三天，新羽化的瓜实蝇成虫被提供含3:1蔗糖：酵母水解物的饮食或仅蔗糖。提供了生物测定的原始数据和数据分析的R脚本。
