Evidence item
The aquatic–terrestrial comparison is an assembled meta-analysis of measured thermal sensitivity and plasticity, with forecasts conditional on CMIP5-RCP2.6 rather than a census of all taxa. DATASET_RESULT

Exact excerpt
The authors assembled and meta-analysed a dataset on thermal sensitivity and plasticity of metabolic rate across invertebrates and ecosystems. They report lower aquatic than terrestrial metabolic response, latitude patterns, and forecasts under the modest CMIP5-RCP2.6 scenario of up to 26.6% aquatic and 43.9% terrestrial increases. These are dataset-based comparative estimates and scenario forecasts, not measurements of every invertebrate or ecosystem.
