Diverging effects of host density and richness across biological scales drive diversity-disease outcomes
The data and analyses support results published in Johnson et al. 2024 Nature Communications (Diverging effects of host density and richness across biological scales drive diversity-disease outcomes). The data include estimates of trematode infections from multiple amphibian species, alongside predictors of transmission (e.g., infection pressure, host species richness, host densities, predator densities, amphibian competence). See "README.doc" for a guide to the data files and R scripts. All methods are included in the associated publication.
All data were collected with the approval of the University of Colorado's Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (protocol 1002.021302.01) and in accordance with sampling protocols approved by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (SC-3683 and SC-10560) and the Santa Clara County Parks, East Bay Regional Parks District, East Bay Municipal Utility District, California State Parks and other local landowners
