Variation and correlations between sexual, asexual and natural enemy resistance life-history traits in a natural plant pathogen population

Variation and correlations between sexual, asexual and natural enemy resistance life-history traits in a natural plant pathogen population

Abstract Background Understanding the mechanisms by which diversity is maintained in pathogen populations is critical for epidemiological predictions. Life-history trade-offs have been proposed as a hypothesis for explaining long-term maintenance of variation in pathogen populations, yet the empiric...
