Host ecotype generates evolutionary and epidemiological divergence across a pathogen metapopulation.
The extent and speed at which pathogens adapt to host resistance varies considerably. This presents a challenge for predicting when--and where--pathogen evolution may occur. While gene flow and spatially heterogeneous environments are recognized to be critical for the evolutionary potential of pathogen populations, we lack an understanding of how the two jointly shape coevolutionary trajectorie...
متن کاملEvolution of Pathogen Specialisation in a Host Metapopulation: Joint Effects of Host and Pathogen Dispersal
Metapopulation processes are important determinants of epidemiological and evolutionary dynamics in host-pathogen systems, and are therefore central to explaining observed patterns of disease or genetic diversity. In particular, the spatial scale of interactions between pathogens and their hosts is of primary importance because migration rates of one species can affect both spatial and temporal...
متن کاملEvolution of virulence in a plant host-pathogen metapopulation.
In a wild plant-pathogen system, host resistance and pathogen virulence varied markedly among local populations. Broadly virulent pathogens occurred more frequently in highly resistant host populations, whereas avirulent pathogens dominated susceptible populations. Experimental inoculations indicated a negative trade-off between spore production and virulence. The nonrandom spatial distribution...
متن کاملResistance variation within and among host populations in a plant–pathogen metapopulation: implications for regional pathogen dynamics
1 Studies conducted on natural host-pathogen metapopulations have revealed considerable diversity of host resistance phenotypes within populations. The resistance structure of non-infected populations has, however, been largely ignored and the role of among-population variation in resistance profiles in the dynamics of natural pathogen populations is poorly understood. 2 The Plantago lanceolata...
متن کاملInferring evolutionary signals from ecological data in a plant-pathogen metapopulation.
We followed the dynamics of local epidemics in three populations of a natural plant-pathogen system for four sequential years. We characterize the overwintering process with spatial statistics and use a stochastic, spatially explicit, modeling approach with Bayesian parameter estimation to study the spread of the infection during the growing season. Our modeling approach allows us to infer coev...
