Different metrics of thermal acclimation yield similar effects of latitude, acclimation duration, and body mass on acclimation capacities.

In Rohr et al. (2018), we synthesize four published datasets on thermal acclimation and breadth to develop a framework for predicting thermal plasticity across taxa, latitudes, body sizes, traits, habitats, and methodological factors. Einum et al. (2019) recommend an alternative acclimation metric to one we used in this paper, though we argue that their alternative metric is less relevant to climate change. Nevertheless, using their metric changes the significance of only one of >125 statistical tests in our paper, highlighting that the effects of latitude, acclimation duration, and body mass on thermal acclimation capacity are robust to different acclimation indices.
