This review explores a coevolutionary framework for the study and management of disease-
suppressive soil microbial communities. Because antagonistic microbial interactions are …

Disentangling the mechanisms mediating the coexistence of habitat specialists and
generalists has been a long-standing subject of investigation. However, the roles of species …

Adaptive dynamics is a mathematical framework for studying evolution. It extends
evolutionary game theory to account for more realistic ecological dynamics and it can …

Highlights•Insufficient resistance durability is a problem in agriculture but seemingly less so
in wild plants.•Both genetic and spatial complexities in host populations are important for …

Ecological specialization is a unifying concept in the biological sciences. While there are
reliable ways to characterize specificity at individual and community levels, the evaluation of …

Genetically-controlled plant resistance can reduce the damage caused by pathogens.
However, pathogens have the ability to evolve and overcome such resistance. This often …

The breakdown of plant virus resistance genes is a major issue in agriculture. We
investigated whether a set of resistance genes would last longer when stacked into a single …

Pleiotropy is the property of genes affecting multiple functions or characters of an organism.
Genes vary widely in their degree of pleiotropy, but this variation is often considered a by …

How is trait diversity in a community apportioned between and within coevolving species?
Disruptive selection may result in either a few species with large intraspecific trait variation …

The influence of environmental changes on organisms depends on their bionomic
characteristics, such as mobility, body size, and resource use. Thermoregulatory and …
