Pathogenic fungi constitute a growing threat to both plant and animal species on a global
scale. Despite a clonal mode of reproduction dominating the population genetic structure of …

Hybridization is increasingly recognized as an important force impacting adaptation and
evolution in many lineages of fungi. During hybridization, divergent genomes and alleles are …

Emergent infectious diseases are a severe threat to global biodiversity, thus conservation
biologists need to understand the emergence, spread, and evolution of pathogens to identify …

Emerging infectious diseasespose a significant threat to global health, but predicting
disease outcomes for particular species can be complicated when pathogen virulence …

For generalist pathogens, host species represent distinct selective environments, providing
unique challenges for resource acquisition and defense from host immunity, potentially …

Understanding the evolutionary history of microbial pathogens is critical for mitigating the
impacts of emerging infectious diseases on economically and ecologically important host …

Emerging infectious diseases are a pressing threat to global biological diversity. Increased
incidence and severity of novel pathogens underscores the need for methodological …

The origins and evolution of virulence in amphibian-infecting chytrids Batrachochytrium
dendrobatidis (Bd) and Batrachochytrium salamandrivorans (Bsal) are largely unknown …

While emerging fungi threaten global biodiversity, the paucity of fungal genome assemblies
impedes thoroughly characterizing epidemics and developing effective mitigation strategies …

Biodiversity loss is one major outcome of human-mediated ecosystem disturbance. One way
that humans have triggered wildlife declines is by transporting disease-causing agents to …
