The files described in this document contain the data collected in Objective 3, Experiment 3 of NERC project NE/R000875/1. The aim of this experiment was to manipulate the fecundity-longevity relationship in Drosophila melanogaster by changing the larval diet. We had three dietary regimes, treatment 1 (20% SYA(Sugar, Yeast and Agar)), 2 (100% SYA) and 3 (120% SYA), and collected data from adult flies. We collected the following longevity and fecundity data from each individual fly: date of death, every other day egg count, every other day offspring count. For the protocol, see 'Protocol_NER0008751_Objective 3_Experiment 3_v1_2018-05-05.docx'.
