Much of what we know about speciation comes from detailed studies of well‐known model
systems. Although there have been several important syntheses on speciation, few (if any) …

Ecological, evolutionary and molecular models of interactions between plant hosts and
microbial pathogens are largely based around a concept of tightly coupled interactions …

Most fungi produce some type of durable microscopic structure such as a spore that is
important for dispersal and/or survival under adverse conditions, but many species also …

Given human population growth and accelerated global trade, the rate of emergence of
