Appendix 1—table 8. Priors for trait thermal response functions: infection traits.
Gamma distribution parameters (α [shape] and β [rate]) for priors for fitting thermal response parameters (Tmin, Tmax, and q). Scaled variances are noted in parentheses, either by the system name (applied to all parameters) or by individual parameters. See Appendix 1 section: Priors for trait thermal responses.
