Data from: Amphibians' expansion to record elevations influences chytrid (Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis) infection dynamics

Abstract

Our study concerns the infection dynamics of Marbled four-eyed frogs (Pleurodema marmoratum) with the pathogen Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) during their elevational range expansion in the Cordillera Vilcanota, Peru. Our dataset consists of field-collected amphibian locality, mass, developmental stage, and body size data; field observations on frogs' health status; corresponding Bd infection intensity data for sampled frogs from quantitative PCR; and field-collected temperature data from iButtons deployed in aquatic and terrestrial microhabitats. We also generated sequencing data for a subset of Bd samples, which is deposited in NCBI SRA. Links to that associated data can be found in the article Data Archiving Statement. Ethical considerations are addressed in the Ethics Statement.
