Fungal Pathogen Survey Data

Description

A data set containing environmental and ecological variables measured at each of 20 ponds located in Coconino National Forest, Arizona, USA. At each site, water samples were collected to extract the DNA of Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd), a fungal pathogen of various species of amphibians.

Usage

data(fungusSurveyData)

Format

A data frame consisting of 20 rows and the following 5 columns:

site:

location sampled for fungal pathogen

loadT1:

average fungal pathogen load of frogs that tested positive for Bd and were captured during 1st survey

loadT2:

average fungal pathogen load of frogs that tested positive for Bd and were captured during 2nd survey

frogs:

index of frog density (catch per unit effort)

Bd:

prevalence of Bd among frogs captured during 1st or 2nd surveys
