Amphibian Critical Thermal Maxima with Geographic Distribution Limits

Global species-level data on amphibian critical thermal maxima (CTmax) and associated geographic variables. The dataset includes CTmax values, the number of occurrence records from GBIF, and derived geographic distribution limits. It was authored by JhYU You and last updated in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Modeling CTmax as a function of geographic distribution limits for thermal adaptation studies.
• Correlating the number of GBIF occurrence records (n records) with CTmax variability across species.
• Mapping amphibian thermal tolerance using derived geographic distribution limits for regional risk assessments.

Strengths

• Global geographic scope covering multiple amphibian species.
• Includes derived geographic variables for distribution analysis.
• Published under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license.

Limitations

• Small dataset size of 25.3 KB indicates limited scope or few species records.
• Unknown row count prevents assessment of statistical power.
• Lacks explicit column definitions and sample data for validation.
