Human activity impacts the evolutionary trajectories of many species worldwide. Global
trade of agricultural goods contributes to the dispersal of pathogens reshaping their genetic …

The availability of a large number of high‐density markers (SNPs) allows the estimation of
historical effective population size (N e) from linkage disequilibrium between loci. A recent …

Pathogen populations differ in the amount of genetic diversity they contain. Populations
carrying higher genetic diversity are thought to have a greater evolutionary potential than …

Genome evolution is driven by the activity of transposable elements (TEs). The spread of
TEs can have deleterious effects including the destabilization of genome integrity and …

Sporotrichosis is the main subcutaneous mycosis worldwide transmitted by animal or plant
vectors and often escalates to outbreaks or epidemics. The current cat-transmitted …

Species harbor extensive structural variation underpinning recent adaptive evolution.
However, the causality between genomic features and the induction of new rearrangements …

Background Plant pathogens cause substantial crop losses in agriculture production and
threaten food security. Plants evolved the ability to recognize virulence factors and …

Plant pathogen populations inhabit patchy environments with contrasting, variable thermal
conditions. We investigated the diversity of thermal responses in populations sampled over …

Convergent evolution leads to identical phenotypic traits in different species or populations.
Convergence can be driven by standing variation allowing selection to favour identical …

There is a strong consensus that selection for fungicide resistant pathogen strains can be
most effectively limited by using applications of mixtures of fungicides designed to balance …
