Crop diseases are often considered as episodic events associated with specific
environmental and weather conditions, but little is known about disease development when …

When non-native plants reach novel environments, they typically arrive with hidden
microbiomes. In general, most of these hitchhikers remain on their co-evolved hosts, some …

Disease may drive variation in host community structure by modifying the interplay of
deterministic and stochastic processes that shape communities. For instance, deterministic …

The distribution and community assembly of above‐and belowground microbial
communities associated with individual plants remain poorly understood, despite its …

Fungal pathogens can regulate the abundance and distribution of natural plant populations
by inhibiting the growth, survival, and reproduction of their hosts. The abiotic environment is …

Abiotic stresses, physiological dysfunction, forest stand dynamics and primary tree attackers
(native and non‐native) are all recognized as important contributors to both anomalous tree …

Leaves of terrestrial plants support a diverse assemblage of microbes, predominantly
filamentous fungi, yeasts, and bacteria. The composition of this microbial community …

Land-use change has transformed most of the planet. Concurrently, recent outbreaks of
various emerging infectious diseases have raised great attention to the health …

Biological invasions, resulting from deliberate and unintentional species transfers of insects,
fungal and oomycete organisms, are a major consequence of globalization and pose a …

Host‐specialized pathogens are credited with the maintenance of tropical forest diversity
under the Janzen–Connell hypothesis. Yet, in diverse forests, selection may favor …
