We examine the entanglement of thermal states of n spins interacting through an XYZ type Heisenberg coupling in the presence of a uniform magnetic field, by evaluating the negativities of bipartite partitions of the whole system and subsystems. The corresponding limit temperatures for entanglement are also examined. Results indicate that limit temperatures for global entanglement depend on the type of partition and are higher than those limiting pairwise entanglement, and that their behavior with anisotropy and applied magnetic field may differ significantly from that of the corresponding mean field critical temperature.
