Unprecedented extinction of tree species by fungal disease

2021-09-01

Abstract excerpt

Myrtle rust is caused by the fungus Austropuccinia psidii and impacts some species in the extremely large and mostly Gondwanic plant family, the Myrtaceae. Given the location of its wild relatives, the fungal pathogen originated in South America and spread rapidly across the Pacific. Here we report on extensive surveys from Australian rainforest to predict a plant extinction event of unprecedented magnitude. The r...
