  1. Data indicates mean  ±  S.E.M. Statistical results of comparison between oxygen groups are shown in the bottom row. Additional results in Table S1. CO2 CTmin and activity CTmin were calculated from the inflection point of regressions of the absolute difference sum (ADS) residuals (see methods).
  2. *Critical thermal minimum (CTmin) data from Boardman et al.36.
