<b>Plasticity and regional heterothermy of upper thermal tolerance in the ring-necked snake</b>

This file contains data on the plasticity of voluntary thermal maximum (VTmax) in the ring-necked snake (<i>Diadophis punctatus</i>) for the manuscript “Plasticity and regional heterothermy of upper thermal tolerance in the ring-necked snake”. “Snake_id” contains the unique identifier for each snake. “Sex” contains the sex of each snake, with “f” indicating female and “m” indicating male. “DateCollected” contains the collection date for each individual. “Gravid” indicates whether the snake was gravid, with 1 indicating gravid and 0 indicating not gravid. “Egg_num” is an integer indicating the number of oviductal eggs. “Ecdysis” indicates whether a snake was in the process of shedding, with 1 indicating shedding and 0 indicating not shedding. “Mass_g” indicates the body mass of each snake in grams. “CollectionBodyTemp_C” indicates the body temperature of each snake at the point of capture in degrees Celsius. “Treatment_temp_C” indicates the temperature of incubation for each snake in degrees Celsius. “Treatment_duration_hrs” indicates the duration of the treatment in hours. “Treatment_Temp_Duration” is a combination of treatment temperature in degrees Celsius and treatment duration in hours, with temperature first and separated from duration by an underscore. “PreVTmax_mouth_temp_final” indicates the VTmax measured in the mouth prior to exposure to experimental temperature and duration. “PreVTmax_cloaca_temp_final” indicates the VTmax measured in the cloaca prior to exposure to experimental temperature and duration. “PostVTmax_mouth_temp_final” indicates the VTmax measured in the mouth after exposure to experimental temperature and duration. “PostVTmax_cloaca_temp_final” indicates the VTmax measured in the cloaca after exposure to experimental temperature and duration. “Mouth_pre_post_VTmaxdiff” indicates the difference in degrees Celsius between VTmax measured in the mouth before and after exposure to experimental temperature and duration. “Cloaca_pre_post_VTmaxdiff” indicates the difference in degrees Celsius between VTmax measured in the cloaca before and after exposure to experimental temperature and duration.

本数据集配套论文《环颈蛇（<i>Diadophis punctatus</i>）的耐热上限可塑性与区域异温性》，包含环颈蛇的自愿性热上限（voluntary thermal maximum, VTmax）相关实验数据。"Snake_id"为每只环颈蛇的唯一标识符；"Sex"记录每只蛇的性别，其中"f"代表雌性，"m"代表雄性；"DateCollected"为个体采集日期；"Gravid"用于标识蛇只是否怀卵，1代表怀卵，0代表未怀卵；"Egg_num"为整数型数值，代表输卵管内卵的数量；"Ecdysis"用于标识蛇只是否处于蜕皮过程中，1代表正在蜕皮，0代表未蜕皮；"Mass_g"为每只蛇的体重，单位为克（g）；"CollectionBodyTemp_C"为捕获时蛇只的体温，单位为摄氏度（℃）；"Treatment_temp_C"为每只蛇的实验处理温度，单位为摄氏度（℃）；"Treatment_duration_hrs"为实验处理时长，单位为小时；"Treatment_Temp_Duration"为处理温度与处理时长的组合字段，格式为“温度_时长”，先记录温度，再以下划线分隔时长；"PreVTmax_mouth_temp_final"为实验处理前经口腔测得的自愿性热上限；"PreVTmax_cloaca_temp_final"为实验处理前经泄殖腔测得的自愿性热上限；"PostVTmax_mouth_temp_final"为实验处理后经口腔测得的自愿性热上限；"PostVTmax_cloaca_temp_final"为实验处理后经泄殖腔测得的自愿性热上限；"Mouth_pre_post_VTmaxdiff"为实验处理前后经口腔测得的自愿性热上限差值，单位为摄氏度（℃）；"Cloaca_pre_post_VTmaxdiff"为实验处理前后经泄殖腔测得的自愿性热上限差值，单位为摄氏度（℃）。
