Data from "The repeatability of thermal reaction norms for locomotor activity in juvenile newts"

We repeatedly examined the influence of body temperature (13, 18, 23, and 28°C) and individual identity on locomotor activity in juvenile alpine newts, Ichthyosaura alpestris, over three consecutive weeks. Locomotor activity was characterized by four parameters: covered distance, mean velocity, frequency of movements, and total activity rate (all directional and non-directional movements). We found out that locomotor activity is a complex trait, which can be characterized by several parameters with varying individual repeatability and thermal dependency. This information should be considered for both planning further locomotor activity experiments and modeling ectotherm responses to climate change.我们在连续三周内，反复探究了体温（13、18、23和28℃）以及个体身份对高山欧螈（Ichthyosaura alpestris）幼体运动活动的影响。本次研究通过四项参数表征运动活动水平：移动总距离、平均移动速度、运动频次以及总活动率（涵盖所有定向与非定向运动）。研究发现，运动活动属于复杂性状，可通过多项参数进行表征，且这些参数的个体重复性与温度依赖性存在差异。该研究结果可为后续运动活性实验的规划设计，以及外温动物对气候变化响应的模型构建提供重要参考依据。
