This dataset contains 4 columns, including “colonyID”, “ctmax”, “generation”, and “population”. Each row of the dataset represents the response of an individual worker acorn ant.
colonyID – a unique identifier for each acorn ant colony; multiple individual workers were tested from the same colony.
ctmin – a continuous numeric variable describing the value for the critical thermal minimum in degrees Celsius.
generation – a categorical variable describing whether the data come from the field-caught generation or the F2 (lab-born) generation.
population – a categorical variable describing whether the ants originated from a rural or an urban site
