  1. Upper critical temperature and lower critical temperature together with parameters of statistical analysis in reproductive and non-reproductive F. anselli. aminimal value only, because of lack of RMR data for reproductive animals at temperatures above 33 °C, see Methods for more detail. JT represents Jonckheere-Terpstra-statistics, p is the probability of trend in data
