Abstract
These data include estimates of upper thermal limits for two common coastal copepods collected from Long Island Sound between July 2017 and November 2019. Individual survival measurements were made for both field and laboratory acclimated individuals exposed to temperatures ranging from 10°C to 39°C. These data highlight how acclimation and rapid adaptation may influence responses of populations to rapid climate change. Data were collected by Dr. Matthew Sasaki at the University of Connecticut. For a complete list of measurements, refer to the full dataset description in the supplemental file 'Dataset_description.pdf'. The most current version of this dataset is available at: https://www.bco-dmo.org/dataset/955739
