A quadratic term for absolute latitude is included in the CTmax model based on Akaike Information Criterion (AIC) results (Table S2). For CTmin, a cold-tolerance limit metric is included to account for possible differences between critical thermal limits (base level) and lethal thermal limits (contrast shown). Model results are for thermal limits corrected for acclimation temperature; see Table S3 for model results on uncorrected data.
