1. Heat decreases head-swing frequency in D. veechi.

   “decreased its mass-specific routine metabolic rate and head swing frequency, and shortened its egg-laying period and lifespan.”

2. Heat shortens lifespan in D. veechi.

   “warm acclimation increased both body size and brood size of D. veechi, decreased its mass-specific routine metabolic rate and head swing frequency, and shortened its egg-laying period and lifespan.”
