1. Necrotic fruits, which a diversity of small organisms (e.g. larval Drosophila melanogaster) can inhabit, routinely attained temperatures greater than 35 degrees C and as high as 52 degrees C when in direct sunlight for 1-2 h.2. Fruit color, integument, water loss and size each influenced the kinetics and magnitude of solar heating of Fruit.3. Within-fruit spatial variation in temperature was < 5 degrees C at a given time, and often much less.4. These findings suggest that organisms inhabiting isolated fruit experience stressful if not lethal temperatures. (C) 1997 Published by Elsevier Science Ltd.
