Figure 3. — CO₂ production, activity and thoracic temperature excess of Apis mellifera ligustica during a thermolimit experiment. Respiratory CT_max = 51.2 °C, activity CT_max = 49.1 °C. Activity CT_max was indicated by cease of controlled motoric activity (=mortal fall). Residual analysis of ADS indicated the point of respiratory CT_max (=cease of cyclic respiration, see “Materials and methods”). The postmortal peak (increase of CO₂ signal after CT_max) coincides with a thoracic heating bout starting right after mortal fall.
