(a) Mean daily pond temperatures averaged across a shallow and deep iButton temperature logger at 17 sites during the 4‐week sampling period (one site was excluded due to the loss of iButtons). (b) Water temperatures measured at the time of tadpole sampling, displayed by Bd infection status, with red highlighting Bd‐positive samples. Blue dashed lines on both figures indicate Bd optimal growth temperatures (17–25°C). The red dashed line indicates Bd lethal limit (>28°C).

Amphibian chytrid fungus, Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd), is associated with declines in ~500 amphibian species globally. Decades after initial disease outbreaks, the trajectory of impacted species varies substantially; while some species continue to decline, there are instances of natural recovery, such as the whistling tree frog, Litoria ver...
