Data for: "Thermal tolerance and survival are modulated by a natural gradient of infection in differentially acclimated hosts"

This project contains data and metadata for the publication "Thermal tolerance and survival are modulated by a natural gradient of infection in differentially acclimated hosts" submitted in Conservation Physiology (CONPHYS-2023-135).Fish were collected in 2020 (fall) and 2021 (summer and fall), acclimated to a range of ecologically relevant temperatures (), and submitted to thermal tolerance trials (CTmax + CTmin). Survival was assessed for a week for the summer 2021 fish. We then related all measured metrics to the number of parasite species found in the fish to assess the influence of infection on thermal tolerance of their hosts. The dataset also includes measures of fish mass (corrected for parasites) and mass of multiple internal organs.We also included supplemental data used to make Figure S5, where we conducted ramping rate confirmation trials (0.3°C min-1) in three anesthetized fish of different mass. Metadata is also included for this supplemental data.

本项目包含提交至《Conservation Physiology》（投稿编号：CONPHYS-2023-135）的论文《不同驯化宿主的自然感染梯度调控耐热性与存活率》相关的数据与元数据。实验用鱼类分别于2020年秋季、2021年夏季及秋季采集，经一系列符合生态学意义的温度梯度驯化后，开展涵盖临界最高温度（CTmax）与临界最低温度（CTmin）的耐热性测试。针对2021年夏季采集的鱼类，我们对其存活率进行了为期一周的评估。随后我们将所有实测指标与宿主体内检出的寄生虫物种数量进行关联分析，以探究感染对宿主耐热性的调控作用。本数据集还包含经寄生虫载荷校正后的鱼类体重及多种内脏器官重量的测定数据。此外，我们还补充了用于绘制图S5的额外数据集：针对3条不同体重的麻醉鱼类开展了升温速率验证实验（升温速率为0.3°C·min⁻¹），同时也提供了该补充数据对应的元数据。
