Abstract excerpt
To quantify heat tolerance in insects, two manual observation measures are typically implemented: the time to physiological collapse at a static noxious temperature (time to knockdown; TKD) or the temperature at which collapse occurs as temperature increases (critical thermal maximum; CTmax). Both assay modalities focus on physiological collapse, neglecting the prior behavioral processes. In this study, the...
