Which limit occurs when ant nests exceed maximum temperature during summer midday?

💡 Explanation

When nest temperature exceeds viable limits, protein denaturation in arthropod embryos occurs because thermal energy disrupts hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic interactions, leading to incorrect folding and loss of function. Therefore reduced egg hatching rate results, rather than fungal growth or impaired behavior which require separate temperatures.
