Phylogenetic structure and host abundance drive disease pressure in communities
NATURE, 520(7548), 542-+.
MeSH headings : Biodiversity; California; Databases, Factual; Grassland; Introduced Species / trends; Phylogeny; Plant Diseases / statistics & numerical data; Plants / classification; Population Density
TL;DR:
It is shown that the phylogenetic and ecological structure of the surrounding community can be important predictors of disease pressure, and the amount of tissue lost to disease increased with the relative abundance of a species across a grassland plant community, and that disease pressure was stronger on species with many close relatives.
