Considerations for assessing maximum critical temperatures in small ectothermic animals: insights from leaf-cutting ants

The thermal limits of individual animals were originally proposed as a link between animal physiology and thermal ecology. Although this link is valid in theory, the evaluation of physiological tolerances involves some problems that are the focus of this study. One rationale was that heating rates s...
