Comparing the influences of ecological and evolutionary factors on the successful invasion of a fungal forest pathogen

2010-04-01

Abstract excerpt

The fungal forest pathogen Heterobasidion annosum has been introduced from North America into Italy and is now associated with high mortality of Italian stone pines. Due to the presence of a closely related native H. annosum taxon, this pathosystem presents an unusual opportunity to test specific ecological and evolutionary factors influencing fungal invasions. Comparative inoculation experiments on Scots pine cut...
