Multiple infections, either simultaneous or sequential, affecting a single plant or crop are
now recognized to be common in plant disease epidemics. These multiple infections thus …

Local adaptation is an outcome of divergent selection on microbial populations and has
been linked to the immense genetic diversity of microbes observed in nature. Because it is …

Pathogen transmission depends on host density, mobility and contact. These components
emerge from host and pathogen movements that themselves arise through interactions with …

An understanding of the evolution of pathogen quantitative traits in response to host
selective pressures is essential for the development of durable management strategies for …

Trade‐offs in life‐history traits are a central tenet in evolutionary biology, yet their ubiquity
and relevance to realized fitness of populations remains questioned. Trade‐offs in …

This volume sits at the cross-roads of a number of areas of scientific interest that, in the past,
have largely kept themselves separate-agriculture, forestry, population genetics, ecology …

Plants have evolved different strategies to resist pathogens, but little is known about how
effective, stable and costly these mechanisms are in perennial plants across multiple …

Multi‐infections may result in either competitive exclusion or coexistence on the same host
of pathogen genotypes belonging to the same or different species. Epidemiological …

The efficiency of plant resistance to fungal pathogen populations is expected to decrease
over time, due to their evolution with an increase in the frequency of virulent or highly …

Variation in individual-level disease transmission is well documented, but the underlying
causes of this variation are challenging to disentangle in natural epidemics. In general …
