Body temperature affects plants’ and animals’ performance, but temperature varies through time within an individual and through space among individuals. Theory developed here predicts that, for an individual, variation reduces performance and contracts the range of viable temperatures. By contrast, variation among individuals reduces performance but increases the viable range.
