Selfish grower behavior can group-optimally eradicate plant diseases caused by coinfection

The paper shows that selfish behavior by growers can lead to disease eradication in coinfection scenarios through positive feedback mechanisms.

Taking fear back into the Marginal Value Theorem: the risk-MVT and optimal boldness

The paper introduces the risk-MVT (rMVT), a generalization of the Marginal Value Theorem that incorporates predation risk, showing how different risks affect optimal foraging strategies.

Imaging with spatio-temporal modelling to characterize the dynamics of plant-pathogen lesions

The paper uses imaging and mathematical modeling to analyze the spread of plant-pathogen lesions and identifies differences in diffusion coefficients between resistant and susceptible pea cultivars.

How growers make decisions impacts plant disease control.

This paper models how grower decision-making based on perceived profitability affects participation in clean seed systems for Cassava Brown Streak Disease, showing that misperceptions and information availability influence disease dynamics.

Metacommunity dynamics and the detection of species associations in co-occurrence analyses: why patch disturbance matters

This paper shows that patch disturbance in metacommunities can create false species associations in co-occurrence analyses and suggests including patch age as a covariate to address this issue.
