These heat tolerance data were measured with a Grant-TX200 water bath (accuracy 0.01 °C) at ramping speed of f 0.2 °C per min and recorded as the temperature they lost musle movements. Detailed morpho-species codes, parameter and descriptions of the CTmax measurement methodology were listed in the associated study. 2) three herbivore-parasitoid food webs from rearing. These food webs are from quantative sampling of forest canopy in the hot season, forest understory in the hot season, and forest understory in the cool season. Column names are parasitoids and rows names are herbivore. Detailed morpho-species codes, description of survey, food web assemble forest layers, and seasons could be found in the associated study. ## Data and file structure * Format(s): .xls * Size(s): 51.8 KB * Dimensions: 456 rows x 13 columns * Variables: Data contain three sheets. Each sheet is named with corresponding contents descripted above, containing the heat tolerance (CTmax) and thorax diameter data of the 204 herbivore morpho-species and 53 parasitoid morpho-species used in the associated study. Species abbreviations could be found in the supporting information of the associated study, and the column names of each sheet is self-explanatory.For sheet 3 (food webs), column names are coded parasitoids and row names are interacted coded herbivores, numbers are parasitism incidences rather than parasitoid individuals emerged. * Missing data codes: empty cells ## Sharing/access Information This dataset was not derived from other sources.
