Abstract excerpt
Trade-offs in life-history traits is a central tenet in evolutionary biology, yet their ubiquity and relevance to realized fitness in natural populations remains questioned.

Here, we studied life-history traits determining transmission in the obligate fungal pathogen, Podosphaera plantaginis,...
