Table 1. Host species thermal tolerance upper limit (CTmax) and thermal performances: Optimal temperature (Topt) and thermal breadth (Tbreath defined here as the range where performance is above 80% of optimal) for overall species fitness (product of fecundity, developmental success and developmental speed) and fecundity measured as egg-laying capacity ± SD.
Data are from [51].
