Table 3:

Temperature thresholds used for mapping four models of thermal suitability.

Model Range where S(T) > 0.001 (°C) Range where S(T) > 0.5 (°C)

Constant (1) 15.8 – 35.8 21.1 – 31.9
Empirical Fluctuating (2) 15.8 – 33.1 20.3 – 30.2
Trait-level RS - all traits (4) 10.9 – 40.1 21.2 – 31.1
S(T)-level RS (5) 9.3 – 41.1 18.7 – 34.7

Four versions of the model for thermal suitability, S(T), parameterized with different trait TPCs or calculated using rate summation (RS): trait TPCs fit from empirical data under constant temperatures (model 1: “Constant”), trait TPCs fit from empirical data under fluctuating temperatures (model 2: “Empirical Fluctuating”), RS at the trait-level for all traits (model 4: “Trait-level RS - all traits”), or RS directly on the TPC for suitability, S(T), parameterised under constant temperatures (model 5: “S(T)-level RS”). All fluctuating models were for Diurnal temperature ranges (DTR) = 12°C only. Units are in °C.
