Validity of thermal ramping assays used to assess thermal tolerance in arthropods.
Proper assessment of environmental resistance of animals is critical for the ability of researchers to understand how variation in environmental conditions influence population and species abundance. This is also the case for studies of upper thermal limits in insects, where researchers studying ani...
