Here we present a mathematical model that estimates the behaviour of individual Drosophila in temperature gradients. The model takes the spatial dimension and temperature difference of the gradient into account, as well as the rearing temperature of the flies. Furthermore, it allows quatifying cold-trapping, reveals true temperature preference, and differentiates between temperature preference and tolerance. An online version application of the code can be tested at http://igloo.uni-goettingen.de.
