| Genus |
Genus taxonomic rank, as per NCBI. |
| Species |
Species name, as per NCBI. |
| N |
Total number of individuals used by the experiment. If a range was given the mid point was used. |
| Tmax |
The upper thermal limit in degrees °C. |
| Error |
Sample error if provided in text |
| Error measure |
The measure of sample error i.e. standard deviation (SD), standard error (SE) etc. |
| Multiple measures |
If both critical and lethal measures of thermal tolerance were available for a species form a source it is indicated by (Y) otherwise (N) when not available. |
| max_metric |
The metric associated with the upper thermal limit i.e. CTmax, CT50, LT50, LT100. |
| max_interval_after_LT0 |
Only in the case of algae. Generally, thermal limits in algae are measured using water baths set at different temperatures. In some studies the temperature intervals between baths are large, which makes determining the temperature at which death occurred difficult. In these cases we recorded both LT0 (all alive) and LT100 (all dead) and the size of the interval between records i.e., 1 °C, 2 °C, 5 °C, 10 °C directly after LT0 was recorded i.e. an LT0 of 10 °C and an interval of 10 °C would indicate that all specimens were alive in a water bath of 10 °C and that the next recording was taken in a water bath 10 °C warmer (20 °C) in which some individuals were recorded as dead. |
| Tmax_2 |
Only for algae: upper lethal limit with 100% mortality (in degrees °C). |
| max_metric_2 |
Only for algae, always LT100 (100% death) |
| max_interval_before_LT100 |
Only in the case of algae. The size of the interval between experimental water baths in °C directly before all individuals were recorded as dead (LT100). i.e. an LT100 of 10 °C with an interval of 10 °C would indicate that the all specimens were dead in a water bath of 10 °C and that the previous recording was taken in a water bath at 10 °C cooler (0 °C) in which some individuals were recorded as alive. |
| max_pretreatment |
For experiments that had acclimated individuals, the temperature at which the species were held prior to experimentation. If the species was identified as field fresh this is indicated by the letter F. |
| max_ramp |
The rate of temperature change at which individuals were warmed in °C per minute, if given by the study. |
| lat_max |
Latitude. |
| long_max |
Longitude. |
| elevation_max |
Elevation. |
| REF_max |
Reference of the data source. |
| location_max |
1: the location or GPS was given in the study; 2: the region or area of occurrence was given in the article, and a location from the same area or region was chosen given records for the species; 3: the location information was not given other than the specimen was wild caught. In this case the middle of the range is given when a range map for the species was available. |
| N |
Total number of individuals used by the experiment. If a range was given the mid point was used. |
| tmin |
The lower thermal limit in degrees C. |
| min_metric |
The metric associated with the lower thermal limit i.e. CTmin, LT50, LT100. |
| Error |
Sample error if provided in text |
| Error measure |
The measure of sample error i.e. standard deviation (SD), standard error (SE) etc. |
| Multiple measures |
If both critical and lethal measures of thermal tolerance were available for a species form a source it is indicated by (Y) otherwise (N) when not available. |
| min_interval_after_LT0 |
Only in the case of algae. The size of the intervals between measurements in °C directly after LT0 was last recorded (for further explanation see max_interval_after_LT100). |
| LT100 |
Only for algae: lower lethal limit with 100% mortality in degrees C. |
| min_metric_2 |
Only for algae, always LT100 (100% death). |
| min_interval_before_LT100 |
Only in the case of algae. The size of the intervals between measurements in °C directly before LT100 is first recorded (for further explanation see max_interval_before_LT100). |
| min_pretreatment |
For experiments that had acclimated individuals, the temperature at which the species were held prior to experimentation. If the species was identified as field fresh this is indicated by the letter F. |
| ramp_min |
The rate of temperature change at which individuals were cooled in °C per minute, if given by the study |
| lat_min |
Latitude. |
| long_min |
Longitude. |
| elevation_min |
Elevation. |
| REF_min |
Reference of the data source. |
| location_min |
Same methods as those used for location_max. |

| Quality of TNZ |
1: high quality estimate, conclusive evidence of an increase in metabolic rates, demonstrated by either multiple measurements beyond the (TNZ) or high intensity sampling, 2: lower quality estimate - evidence of an increase in metabolic rate but insufficient data to fit a regression to estimate the UTNZ due to either a low sample size or low sampling intensity i.e. interval larger than 1 °C between measurements, 3: Data was excluded from the dataset when no evidence of an increase in metabolic rate was presented to support the UTNZ i.e. no measurements beyond the stated TNZ in text. NA indicates where a study appeared to have appropriate methods either based on peer comms or the original manuscript but the raw data was not presented for assessing the regression used to determine the UTNZ. |
