Wild plants and their associated pathogens are involved in ongoing interactions over
millennia that have been modified by coevolutionary processes to limit the spatial extent and …

Variability in the way organisms reproduce raises numerous, and still unsolved, questions in
evolutionary biology. In this study, we emphasize that fungi deserve a much greater …

Co-infections by multiple pathogen strains are common in the wild. Theory predicts co-
infections to have major consequences for both within-and between-host disease dynamics …

Predicting the emergence, spread and evolution of parasites within and among host
populations requires insight to both the spatial and temporal scales of adaptation, including …

Fungi are ideal model organisms for dissecting the genomic bases of adaptive divergence in
eukaryotes. They have simple morphologies and small genomes, occupy contrasting, well …

Ecological, evolutionary and molecular models of interactions between plant hosts and
microbial pathogens are largely based around a concept of tightly coupled interactions …

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 …

Competition among pathogen strains for limited host resources can have a profound effect
on pathogen evolution. A better understanding of the principles and consequences of …

Many micro-organisms employ a parasitic lifestyle and, through their antagonistic
interactions with host populations, have major impacts on human, agricultural and natural …

Heterogeneous exposure to parasites may contribute to host species differentiation. Hosts
often harbour multiple parasite species which may interact and thus modify each other's …
