“…We discovered no variation in species' CT max across elevation, contrary to studies showing that high‐altitude species have lower CT max than low‐altitude species, both in insects (Garcia‐Robledo, Kuprewicz, Staines, Erwin, & Kress, 2016) and amphibians (Pintanel et al., 2019). Yet, the outcomes of studies analysing the effect of elevation on CT max —or of any other thermal gradient—have been mixed (Clusella‐Trullas & Chown, 2014; Herrando‐Pérez et al., 2020). Our results, however, may be a product of scale, as we used a relatively narrow elevational range (~10% of Pristimantis range) compared to other studies (Catenazzi et al., 2014; Pintanel et al., 2019; von May et al., 2017), or due to phylogenetic constraints on CT max across lineages (Araujo et al., 2013).…”
