The mean lifespan of D. melanogaster is 45-60 days at 25°C under optimal conditions. Under normal culture conditions, it will be considerably less. For lifespans of 21-60 days in different dietary conditions see Ja et al, Water- and nutrient-dependent effects of dietary restriction on Drosophila lifespan, 2009, PUBMEDID 19841272 table S2 in Supplementary information link - link |
