title: Evolution of resistance and virulence in plant-herbivore and plant-pathogen interactions.
abstract: Herbivores and pathogens often attack or infect the same plant parts, and the same plant traits can affect the likelihood and degree of damage. Research on plant-herbivore and plant-pathogen interactions in natural systems have, however, proceeded largely independently of each other. Our understanding of both types of plant-enemy interaction would be enhanced by greater exposure of researchers to developments in both disciplines and by more studies of interactions between pathogen and herbivore species associated with the same hosts.
