Figure 1.
Schematic diagram of experimental protocols used for: (a) two-way ramping temperature assay, (b) plunging temperature assay.
Figure 2.
Contour plot of the relationship between the survivorship (%) of DBM (P. xylostella) at (a) low temperatures with duration of exposure (10 minutes, 30 minutes, 60 minutes and 120 minutes) and (b) high temperatures with duration of exposure.
Survival is indicated by different colour shades (blue = 0% survival, red = 100% survival).
