Effects of warming and oomycete parasite (Saprolegnia) on Lake Baikal copepod (Epischurella baikalensis): results from experiments, long term monitoring and modeling

This collection contains data related to parasite infection of the endemic Lake Baikal zooplankton Epischurella baikalensis. The data comes from laboratory experiments, long-term monitoring records, and population modeling. Included are data on the growth of Saprolegnia colonies on agar; survival and reproduction rates of Epischurella baikalensis under varying temperature conditions and exposure to Saprolegnia; zooplankton abundance and Saprolegnia presence from 1951 to 2003 in long-term monitoring data; and inputs and outputs from population modeling simulations. Results from analyzing this data can be found in 'Hot and sick: impacts of warming and oomycete parasite infection on endemic dominant zooplankter of Lake Baikal' (https://doi.org/10.1101/711655). Funding: NSF DEB-1136637, DEB-1136657. The long-term Lake Baikal data are part of a data sets No. 2005620028 and No. 2014621482 registered with the government of the Russian Federation. E.V. Pislegina, E.A. Silow and M.A. Timofeyev were supported by a Ministry of Higher Education and Research of Russian Federation award #6.1387.2017 and by funding from the Lake Baikal Foundation (https://baikalfoundation.ru/project/tochka-1/).本数据集收录与贝加尔湖特有浮游动物Epischurella baikalensis的寄生虫感染相关的全部数据。该数据集的数据来源于实验室实验、长期监测记录以及种群模型模拟。数据集包含以下具体内容：琼脂培养基上水霉（Saprolegnia）菌落的生长数据；不同温度条件下以及暴露于水霉时，Epischurella baikalensis的存活率与繁殖率数据；1951年至2003年长期监测数据中的浮游动物丰度及水霉检出情况；以及种群模型模拟的输入参数与输出结果。针对本数据集的分析成果已发表于论文《升温与卵菌寄生感染对贝加尔湖特有优势浮游动物的影响》（原文标题："Hot and sick: impacts of warming and oomycete parasite infection on endemic dominant zooplankter of Lake Baikal"，DOI: 10.1101/711655）。本研究受美国国家科学基金会（National Science Foundation，NSF）项目DEB-1136637与DEB-1136657资助。本次使用的贝加尔湖长期监测数据，隶属于俄罗斯联邦政府登记的数据集编号2005620028与2014621482。E.V.
