Measurements of thermal tolerance are critical for predicting species vulnerability to climate change. Critical thermal maximum (CTmax) is a measure of an animal's upper thermal tolerance, but there is limited evidence for how repeatable it is within individuals over time. We measured the CTmax of Trinidadian guppies (Poecilia reticulata) across six consecutive trials, each a week apart. The repeatability of CTmax over six trials was 0.43 (0.26-0.62). However, CTmax also changed over time, ranging from 39.0 to 39.6 degrees C and increasing by 0.6 degrees C across the first four trials before leveling off. This is most likely the effect of heat hardening, indicating that thermal tolerance can increase after repeated exposure to extreme heat events.
