Suboptimal is good enough: Aligning thermal sensitivity to habitat temperature across season

Predicting organismal performance in changing environments is a global challenge. In ectotherms, organismal performance depends on how well-aligned the thermal sensitivities of fitness components are to body temperatures in natural habitat. It is frequently assumed that Topt (temperatures that maximize performance) for important fitness components have evolved to align with habitat temperatures. However, most organisms at temperate latitudes experience significant seasonal temperature variation, and therefore frequently operate at suboptimal temperatures. Importantly, seasonal performance patterns may differ among fitness components if those components have different thermal sensitivities.  The extent to which habitat temperature can deviate from Topt before an organism can no longer persist in its environment, and the role of seasonality in driving this deviation, are infrequently explored. Here, we assess how well-aligned the thermal sensitivity (thermal performance curves, or TP..., , # Suboptimal is good enough: Aligning thermal sensitivity to habitat temperature across season

## Description of the data and file structure

### Data Description

This dataset contains code and data files that should allow replication of the workflow to model embryo thermal performance based on habitat temperature. Field data were collected at False Bay, San Juan Island, Washington, USA, and experimental data were generated at the University of Washington's Friday Harbor Laboratories, San Juan Island, Washington, USA.
