dc.descriptionDATA ACCESSIBILITY STATEMENT : All data are available from https://doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.27846969. All code are available from https://doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.28668341.
dc.description.abstractHIGHLIGHTS • Small ectotherms and ecosystems they support are threatened by climate change. • Current dry bath methods to record thermal data focus only on thermal extremes. • We compare thermal data on ants from dry baths and a locomotor activity monitor. • The LAM reliably predicts upper thermal limits but not lower. • The LAM generates continuous, objective, and higher-throughput thermal data.
