Data for Fungal Effects on Thermal Tolerance and Energy Levels of Acyrtociphon pisum and Hippodamia convergens.
This dataset includes upper and lower thermal limits, voluntary exposure to extreme cold and warm temperatures, ATP levels, and longevity of <i>Acyrtociphom pisum</i> and <i>Hippodamia convergens</i>. Pathogens can modify many aspects of host behavior or physiology, with cascading impacts across trophic levels in terrestrial food webs. These changes include thermal tolerance of hosts, however, the effects of fungal infections on thermal tolerances and behavioral responses to extreme temperatures of prey (<i>Acyrtociphon pisum</i>) and predator (<i>Hippodamia convergens</i>) insect species have rarely been studied. We measured the impacts of fungal infection (at two levels: low and high spore load) on thermal tolerance (critical thermal maximum and minimum), voluntary exposure, energetic cost, and survival of both insect species. Fungal infection reduced thermal tolerance to heat in both insect species, but only reduced tolerance to cold of the predator. Voluntary exposure to extreme temperatures was modified by the infection, energetic cost increased with infection and thermal conditions, and survival was significantly reduced in both insect species.

- The variable response were compared among insects exposed to sprayed plants with water (control), low fungal load (1.4 x 10 exp^6 spore ha exp^-1), and high fungal load (1.4 x 10 exp^12 spore ha exp^-1). The experimental individuals were consistently exposed to a given experimental condition, each measurement was rigorously performed following the same protocol which guarantee consistency and accuracy.

- Statement
- Critical thermal limits, voluntary exposure to extreme temperatures, ATP levels under each condition, and survival were accurately measured using the same experimental methods for each experimental unit.
