Table 1 Summary of values associated with presence localities (N = 9) of Furcifer pardalis derived from experimental data on F. pardalis and climate data from winter 2001 to 2021. Days below a temperature threshold represent the average number of days per winter season that fell below the associated temperature threshold for a consecutive 6 h or more. Active Hours represents the average number of estimated active daylight hours per day across all winters. Percent of Daylight Active represents the percentage of hours during daylight that fall within the activity window for F. pardalis. Performance represents the average predicted performance represented as a % of maximum across all winters.

From: Commonly collected thermal performance data can inform species distributions in a data-limited invader
