Thermal limits of Africanized honey bees are influenced by temperature ramping rate but not by other experimental conditions.

Abstract excerpt

Interest in assessing the critical thermal limits of bees is rapidly increasing, as these physiological traits are good predictors of bees' potential responses to extreme temperature changes, which is relevant in the context of global climate change. However, estimates of thermal limits may be influenced by several factors and published studies differ in experimental methods and conditions, such as the rate of...
