Understanding the symbiosis between plants and pathogenic microbes
is at the core of effective disease management for crops and
managed forests. At the same time, plant-pathogen interactions
comprise a wonderfully diverse set of ecological relationships that
are powerful and yet so commonplace that they often go unnoticed.
Ecologists and evolutionary biologists are increasingly exploring
the terrain of plant disease ecology, investigating topics such as
how pathogens shape diversity in plant communities, how features of
plant-microbe interactions including host range and
mutualism/antagonism evolve, and how biological invasions, climate
change, and other agents of global change can drive disease
emergence. Traditional training in ecology and evolutionary biology
seldom provides structured exposure to plant pathology or
microbiology, and training in plant pathology rarely offers depth
in the theoretical frameworks of evolutionary ecology or includes
examples from complex wild ecosystems. This novel textbook seeks to
unite the research communities of plant disease ecology and plant
pathology by bridging this gap.
