Published: 28 April 2023
...Brett A. Summerell ABSTRACT The majority of Australia's unique flora has evolved in isolation separated from many of the world's major plant pathogens. As these pathogens have made their way into Australia the impact on plant species, ecological communities and the fauna that depends on them has...
