摘要: Abstract 1. Newts chronically infected with an Ichthyophonus-like organism selected warmer temperatures than healthy newts, consistent prior work on behavioral fever, though the magnitude of difference was much greater reported in other studies. 2. The large temperature (>11 °C) may be a consequence chronic nature Ichthyophonus infection newts from field. 3. Healthy exhibited higher thermal tolerance reflecting morbidity newts. 4. Little is known about course and possible consequences changes biology are discussed.
