Selection criteria would be (for example but not limited to): length of the read, average quality of a group of bases etc. (post trimming)

Input Read Pairs: You started with these many read pairs

Both Surviving: Both reads R1/R2 survived trimming (met criteria you selected)

Forward Only Surviving: Only R1 read kept (R2 failed one or more selection criterion after being trimmed)

Reverse Only Surviving: Only R2 read kept (R1 failed one or more selection criterion after being trimmed)

Dropped: Neither R1/R2 pair satisfied selection criteria and were entirely were removed

are these results reasonable? After trimmomatic, I used Trinity for transcriptome assembly. I just want to be sure.

With just the numbers posted above to work with I would say they are.
