Forest pathology, the science of forest health and tree diseases, is operating in a rapidly
develo** environment. Most importantly, global trade and climate change are increasing …

Both natural and managed forests are currently suffering from increases in damage by
pathogens. Here, an evolutionary ecology approach is adopted to analyse the factors that …

Predicted climate change is heading in many respects into untested environmental
conditions for trees and to the reshuffling of species distributions. We explore the …

Invasive pathogens can cause considerable damage to forest ecosystems. Lack of
coevolution is generally thought to enable invasive pathogens to bypass the defence and/or …

We overview an array of common garden genetics trials established across multiple sites
and embedded in restoration plantings in the harsh, modified Midlands region of the island …

It has been proposed that in wild ecosystems viruses are often plant mutualists, whereas
agroecosystems favour pathogenicity. We seek evidence for virus pathogenicity in wild …

Forest ecosystems are increasingly challenged by extreme events, for example, drought,
storms, pest attacks, and fungal pathogen outbreaks, causing severe ecological and …

Aim Recent research has highlighted that the relationship between species interactions and
latitude can differ between native and invasive plant taxa, generating biogeographical …

The interplay of host and pathogen life history traits with disease epidemiology and the
selective pressures exerted on hosts drives genetic change and the long-term …

The future existence of common ash (Fraxinus excelsior), an important tree species
throughout temperate Europe, is threatened. An invasive fungal disease (ash dieback) has …
