To the best of our knowledge, the CTMax values presented here are new to literature, since they had never been estimated for any of these species. The only exception being B. soporator, previously tested in the Florida Keyes ( Rummer et al., 2009). The CTMax value estimated for this species was 40.9 °C, at a warming rate of 0.39 °C min−1, slightly higher than the CTMax values estimated in the present study, 39.3 °C, 39.8 °C and 39.2 °C, estimated at warming rates of 1 °C min−1, 1 °C 30 min−1 and 1 °C h−1, respectively.
