Data from: Microclimate limits thermal behaviour favourable to disease control in a nocturnal amphibian

The data file contains data on (i) temperature preference of fire salamanders Salamandra salamandra measured during Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans (Bsal) infection experiments in thermal gradients; (ii) temperature preference of five Belgian amphibian species measured in thermal gradients; (iii) field body temperatures of the same five amphibian species and operative temperatures, measured during nocturnal field surveys at a Belgian study site; (iv) hourly internal Salamandra salamandra body temperature measured using implanted data loggers, and associated climate data of the mesocosm in which these animals were housed; (v) Bsal AMFP13 thermal growth data; and (vi) fishnets (xy coordinates in decimal degrees) used to extract ERA5 climate data used as input for NicheMapR mechanistic models of fire salamander steady-state body temperature. All temperatures are in °C. In the README file we provide additional information and references to sections of the Ecology Letters paper Supplementary Information, in which the associated methodology is explained in detail.
