Show abstract
We built a database of thermal performance curves that includes different variables --mostly population growth rates --for species in representative groups across major domains, including viruses, bacteria, archaea, unicellular eukaryotes (such as fungi), and multicellular eukaryotes (including plants and both invertebrates and vertebrates). To build the database, we integrated previous databases and compiled additional data from individual studies, all of which were normalized to the same units when corresponding. Our database contains data for 1300 curves across 1125 different species and 38 variable types. The database consists of four (.csv) tables and an R code that can be explored through an R package or a Shiny app. Applications of our dataset include providing a resource to studies in thermal ecology and integration with other types of data, such as geographic temperatures. This would allow us to make further predictions, such as potential species distributions based on their thermal tolerances and their changes with climate warming.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
