چکیده

This article is a Commentary on Susi & Laine (2021), 230: 2447–2458. How does host biodiversity alter disease dynamics? question has fuelled many empirical, experimental and modelling studies (Keesing Ostfeld, 2015; Liu et al., 2020; Rohr 2020), especially with regard to the current trends of loss emergence infectious diseases. Two opposing hypotheses state that can modify incidence through either an amplification or dilution effect. While these relationships have been investigated for variety host–parasite systems, questions about effects diversity aboveground plant microorganisms are more scarce. These few focused mainly foliar fungal pathogens, even fewer addressed viruses (Pagán 2012; Lacroix 2014; Laine, 2021). The paper presented by in this issue New Phytologist (2021; pp. 2447–2458), describes correlations between infection risk five most common recently described wild Plantago lanceolata Åland islands (Finland), ecosystem characteristics surrounding communities. represents important contribution literature incidence, generally still relatively overlooked field virus dynamics natural ecosystems (Malmstrom 2011), when compared vast ecology epidemiology agricultural settings. ‘This ecosystems...’ showed negative correlation prevalence species examined (Plantago latent (PlLV), caulimovirus, betapartitivirus, enamovirus closterovirus). result line effect found including those involving tree diseases (Liu 2020). originality study resides not only looking at prevalence, but also richness.

Relationships between land use , spatial scale and stream macroinvertebrate communities

1. The structure of lotic macroinvertebrate communities may be strongly influenced by land-use practices within catchments. However, the relative magnitude of influence on the benthos may depend upon the spatial arrangement of different land uses in the catchment. 2. We examined the influence of land-cover patterns on in-stream physico-chemical features and macroinvertebrate assemblages in nine...

Evolutionary Relationships of Wild Hominids Recapitulated by Gut Microbial Communities

Multiple factors over the lifetime of an individual, including diet, geography, and physiologic state, will influence the microbial communities within the primate gut. To determine the source of variation in the composition of the microbiota within and among species, we investigated the distal gut microbial communities harbored by great apes, as present in fecal samples recovered within their n...

Quantitative and qualitative analysis of groundwater affected by land use change

Compared to surface water, groundwater resources are the primary source of water supply in arid and semi-arid regions of Iran, hence the importance of the management of these resources .  In this regard, we assessed the effects of landuse changes on the qualitative and quantitative status of groundwater resources in Eshtehard region, Iran. Through processing and analyzing the satellite images, ...

Relationships between Environmental Factors and Plant Communities in Enclosure Rangelands (Case study: Gonbad, Hamadan)

Exclusion and not using of rangeland in the long term affects the composition and homogeneity of vegetation and consequently leads to the improvement of plants status. In this study, the characteristics and structural changes of the rangeland of Gonbad, Hamadan province, Iran, in 2014 (after 20 years of enclosure) were evaluated using Braun-Blanquet plot, Phytosociology and multivariate analysi...

Land-use intensification reduces functional redundancy and response diversity in plant communities.

Ecosystem resilience depends on functional redundancy (the number of species contributing similarly to an ecosystem function) and response diversity (how functionally similar species respond differently to disturbance). Here, we explore how land-use change impacts these attributes in plant communities, using data from 18 land-use intensity gradients that represent five biomes and > 2800 species...
