Spatially structured eco-evolutionary dynamics in a host-pathogen interaction render isolated populations vulnerable to disease

The ecological and evolutionary impacts of disease vary in spatially structured populations. Here, the authors study ~4000 populations of Plantago lanceolata and find that resistance evolution depends on both disease history and population structure, with isolated populations more susceptible to fun...
