Notes

Comparative temperature data

The following four .txt files contain thermochron temperature data (Maxim iButtons) for summer 2019 through summer 2020 at two pika sites: 1) North Mono Craters (recently re-colonized) and 2) Virginia Canyons (long extant). The files represent a thermochron placed on the surface of the haypiles and a thermochron in the matrix (0.5 m depth) of the talus below the haypile.

Table SM1. North Mono Craters, haypile surface temperature.

Table SM2. North Mono Craters, haypile matrix temperature.

Table SM3. Virginia Canyon, haypile surface temperature.

Table SM4. Virginia Canyon, haypile matrix temperature.
