“…Such thermal variation governs patterns in microbiome composition, (micro)predation and seasonal migration timing, which are well‐known disease drivers (Blaustein et al ., 2012; Schmeller et al ., 2014; Woodhams et al ., 2014; Daversa et al ., 2018; Kueneman et al ., 2019). Ambient temperature may, however, also directly influence host–pathogen interactions, depending on thermal preferences and behaviour of either or both organisms (Rowley and Alford, 2013; Stevenson et al ., 2013; Sonn et al ., 2017; Voyles et al ., 2017; Greenspan et al ., 2017b; Sauer et al ., 2018; Fernández‐Loras et al ., 2019; Sauer et al ., 2019; Stevenson et al ., 2020). For instance, temperatures below or above species thermal optima can strongly compromise the amphibian immune response (Cohen et al ., 2017; Greenspan et al ., 2017a).…”
