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

description: 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.
description: Seasonal field surveys in natural populations indicate the
 numbers of plants of the status of showing the smut diseases caused by the
 two fungi or were healthy with 100-sequare-meter plots, recorded in
 spring, summer or fall seasons. Data on infected plants showing disease
 symptoms experimentally exposed to summer-time temperatures included pairs
 of M. silenes-inflatae and T. melanrdii pathogens at 3 to 30 days of
 exposure to the temperatures and replicated in two blocks. Among all these
 plants, all produced flowers were assessed for symptoms and counted as
 healthy or diseased. For data on plants inoculated under field conditions,
 either as M. silenes-inflatae (M) or T. melandrii (T) or a mixture of the
 two fungi, those showing symptoms of the two diseased or remaining healthy
 were counted. For data on plants inoculated under growth chamber
 conditions of spring/fall or summertime temperatures with either of the
 two pathogens, the numbers showing disease symptoms or remained healthy
 were counted.

 Description of the data and file structure 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*. ### Files and variables Four data files
 are included with the following names, and below each name in brackets are
 the data column headers and any abbreviations used:
 seasonal_field_surveys.csv \[columns include Site (location name), Count
 (number of plants observed), Seasons (spring, summer, or fall of when
 observations were made), and Status (indicating plants showing symptoms of
 anther smut disease, receptacle smut disease, or the total flowering
 population size that includes healthy plants)]
 disease_symptoms_at_summertime_temperatures.csv \[columns include Pathogen
 (abbreviating the genus names as M. silenes-inflatae or T. melandrii),
 Pair (indicating a pathogen of each species type pairs for analysis), Days
 (number of days of exposure to summertime temperature), Block (replication
 by block), Flowers scored (number of flowers assessed for disease
 symptoms), Flowers healthy (number of assessed flowers that were healthy),
 Flowers diseased (number of assessed flowers that showed disease
 symptoms), Plants scored (number of assessed plants), Plants &gt;0 healthy
 flowers (number of plants with more than zero healthy flowers), and Plants
 with diseased flowers (number of plants with diseased flowers)]
 field_inoculation.csv \[columns include Treatment (treatment names based
 on the pathogen used with M. silenes-inflatae indicated as M and T.
 melandrii indicated as T, and strains of the two pathogens indicated as
 numbers 1 to 4), N plants (numbers of plants included per treatment),
 Anther-smut disease (numbers of plants showing symptoms of anther-smut
 disease), Receptacle-smut disease (numbers of plants showing symptoms of
 receptacle-smut disease), Healthy (numbers of plants remaining healthy),
 Inoculum type (single meaning inoculation with on pathogen species and
 mixed meaning inoculation with a mixture of the two pathogen species),
 Pathogen (indicating which pathogen was used for singe or mixed inoculum
 types), and Pair (indicating the combinations of pathogen strains 1 to 4
 used for analysis)] growth_chamber_inoculation.csv \[columns include
 Pathogen (indicating the pathogen species used for inoculation), Pair
 (indicating a pathogen of each species type pairs for analysis),
 Incubation temperature (indicating spring/fall temperatures or summertime
 temperature for incubation of inoculated plants), Number diseased (number
 of plants observed showing disease symptoms), Number healthy (number of
 plants remaining healthy), Number scored (the sum of plants assessed for
 disease symptoms)] ## Code/software N/A ## Access information Other
