Correlations between behavior and temperature in M. sanguinipes. A) Proportion of grasshoppers moving towards areas of greater or lesser insolation compared to their initial location (n ranges from 5–38 among temperature categories); B) Proportion of grasshoppers adopting basking orientation (90°) or facing direction of sun (0°) (n ranges from 21–37 for among temperature categories, with the exception of 41–45°C, where n = 6); C) Proportion of grasshoppers perched on soil surface that adopted the crouched posture (n ranges from 5–34); D) mean height of grasshoppers at initial and final locations (sample sizes same as in E); E) Air temperature at thorax height (TTX) at the initial and final location of the grasshopper (numbers below symbols are sample sizes for each temperature interval); for reference, the pair of horizontal dashed lines represent the bounds of the TSET range measured in the laboratory.
