McKenzie; Evidence that tolerance of acute warming declines with increasing body mass within fish species. J Exp Biol 1 September 2025; 228 (17): jeb250612. doi: https://doi.org/10.1242/jeb.250612Description : The objective of the study was to test the theory that larger individuals are more sensitive to warm temperatures, proposed as a result of limitations in their capacity to provide oxygen for aerobic metabolic activites. The study was performed in four populations of fish, reared or wild (reared European seabass Dicentrarchus labrax, wild European seabass D.labrax, wild Gilthead seabream Sparus aurata, and reared Nile tilapia Oreochromis niloticus), using a critical thermal maximum for swimming (CTSmax) protocol.Nile tilapia data :The Nile tilapia data is from from Blasco et al. (2022) freely available at Mendeley: doi:10.17632/npmchftsjf.1. Fish performed similar protocols as for seabass and seabream.readme.docx - Contains the column names and definitions of file dataframe_MS_Evidence_that_thermal_tolerance.xlsxdataframe_MS_Evidence_that_thermal_tolerance.xlsx - Represents datafile associated to Rscript_Evidence_that_tolerance_final.rRscript_Evidence_that_tolerance_final.r - Represents analysis scriptsession_info - Represents R environment in which the analysis was conducted
