Theory generally predicts that host specialisation and dispersal should evolve jointly.
Indeed, many models predict that specialists should be poor dispersers to avoid landing on …

Climate change is affecting population growth rates of ectothermic pests with potentially dire
consequences for agriculture and global food security. However, current projection models …

Agricultural fields are typically simplified ecosystems compared to natural sites, a
characteristic that has long‐attracted researchers in Ecology and Evolution. In recent years …

Several viruses are transmitted by eriophyid mites (Acariformes: Eriophyoidea) including
blackberry leaf mottle-associated emaravirus (BLMaV)(Emaravirus rubi). BLMaV is …

Landscape ecologists have long suggested that pest abundances increase in simplified,
monoculture landscapes. However, tests of this theory often fail to predict pest population …

Over time, the species comprising aquatic communities disperse and form new communities
and/or alter existing ones. These changes are a result of environmental factors that directly …

Phages are typically known for having a limited host range, targeting various strains within a
specific bacterial species. However, factors like the phylogeny or epidemiology of host …

Because of their sedentary lifestyle, plants are susceptible to changing environmental
conditions. They must cope with miscellaneous abiotic stresses usually enhanced by heavy …
