Data on contrasting sensitivities to seasonal warming among co-occurring diseases

The included data provide observational and experimental information on
the temperature sensitivities of the fungal pathogens, Microbotryum
silenes-inflatae (anther smut) and Thecaphora melandrii (receptacle smut),
when affecting the host plant, Silene vulgaris. The data show counts of
plants observed in natural populations of numbers of plants that displayed
the smut diseases caused by the two fungi or were healthy, recorded in
spring, summer or fall seasons. Also included are data on the disease
symptoms of infected plants experimentally exposed to summer-time
temperatures, data on disease symptoms of plants inoculated in the field
under summertime temperatures, and data on disease symptoms of plants
inoculated under growth chamber conditions matching summertime or
spring/fall temperatures. The data can be used in manners that comply with
a CC0 license waiver, including to distribute, remix, adapt, and build
upon the material in any medium or format, with no conditions. There were
no legal or ethical considerations related to the data collection.
