Endophytic fungi (EF) are a group of fascinating host-associated fungal communities that
colonize the intercellular or intracellular spaces of host tissues, providing beneficial effects to …

The main drivers of global environmental change (CO2 enrichment, nitrogen deposition,
climate, biotic invasions and land use) cause extinctions and alter species distributions, and …

Although viruses are most often studied as pathogens, many are beneficial to their hosts,
providing essential functions in some cases and conditionally beneficial functions in others …

Different components of global environmental change are often studied and managed
independently, but mounting evidence points towards complex non-additive interaction …

The concept of pathogenesis has evolved considerably over recent years, and the scenario
“a microbe+ virulence factors= disease” is probably far from reality in a number of cases …

The ecology of plant viruses began to be explored at the end of the 19th century. Since then,
major advances have revealed mechanisms of virus-host-vector interactions in various …

While there is good evidence linking animal introductions to impacts on native communities
via disease emergence, our understanding of how such impacts occur is incomplete …

This review focuses on virus-plant pathosystems at the interface between managed and
natural vegetation, and describes how rapid expansion in human activity and climate …

Soil communities can have profound effects on invasions of ecosystems by exotic plant
species. We propose that there are three main pathways by which this can happen. First …

Pathogens, like other consumers, mediate the outcome of competitive interactions between
their host species. Ongoing efforts to integrate pathogens into plant community ecology …
