Studies of plant–pathogen interactions have historically focused on simple models of
infection involving single host-single disease systems. However, plant infections often …

Infections that consist of multiple parasite strains or species are common in the wild and are
a major public health concern. Theory suggests that these infections have a key influence on …

Parasites and infectious diseases are everywhere and represent some of the most potent
forces shaping the natural world. They affect almost every aspect imaginable in the life of …

Beim Studium der jüngeren Kontroversen über den Darwinismus fiel mir wiederholt auf, das
sie falsche Darstellungen enthielten, so als würde es sich um irgendetwas Umfassenderes …

Throughout the natural world, organisms have responded to predators, inadequate
resources, or inclement conditions by forming ongoing mutually beneficial partnerships--or …

Microparasite infections often consist of genetically distinct clonal lineages. Ecological
interactions between these lineages within hosts can influence disease severity …

Diversity–invasibility relationships were explored in the novel context of the colonization
resistance provided by gut bacteria of the desert locust Schistocerca gregaria against …

Kin selection theory predicts that the damage to a host resulting from parasite infection
(parasite virulence) will be negatively correlated to the relatedness between parasites within …

Hamilton's inclusive fitness theory represents one of the most important developments in
evolutionary biology. In particular, the idea that individuals benefit from the reproduction of …

Competition between parasite species or strains within hosts is a major evolutionary force in
infections. In response, parasites exhibit a diverse array of strategies that improve their …
