Findings on climate change influence on plant pathogens are often inconsistent and context
dependent. Knowledge of pathogens affecting agricultural crops and natural plant …

Increasing human impacts on forests, including unintentional movement of pathogens,
climate change, and large-scale intensive plantations, are associated with an …

Fungal plant pathogens are common in natural communities where they affect plant
physiology, plant survival, and biomass production. Conversely, pathogen transmission and …

The deployment of resistant crops often leads to the emergence of resistance‐breaking
pathogens that suppress the yield benefit provided by the resistance. Here, we theoretically …

Pathogens cause significant challenges to global food security. On annual crops, pathogens
must re-infect from environmental sources in every growing season. Fungal pathogens have …

A central question in community ecology is the means by which species coexist. Models of
coexistence often assume that species have fixed trait values and consider questions such …

Recent disease outbreaks caused by (re-) emerging plant pathogens have been associated
with expansions in pathogen geographic distribution and increased virulence. For example …

Maize lethal necrosis (MLN) has emerged as a serious threat to food security in sub-
Saharan Africa. MLN is caused by coinfection with two viruses, Maize chlorotic mottle virus …

Remnant areas hosting natural vegetation in agricultural landscapes can impact the disease
epidemiology and evolutionary dynamics of crop pathogens. However, the potential …

In a cross-infection experiment, we investigated how seasonal changes can affect
adaptation patterns in a Zymoseptoria tritici population. The fitness of isolates sampled on …
