Full Description

This exam examines the complex mechanisms of species interaction in the context of plant disease ecology, emphasizing mediators such as competition and mutualism.

Knowledge of these interactions is vital for understanding how they can mitigate or exacerbate plant disease outbreaks, thereby influencing agricultural productivity and ecosystem health.

The assessment will require candidates to demonstrate their understanding of species interaction frameworks and their practical implications on disease control methods.

Candidates should prepare to provide examples of species interactions within specific ecological contexts and their effects on disease incidence.

Sample Questions

What role does competition play in shaping disease dynamics among plant species?
Can mutualistic interactions between species influence the prevalence of plant diseases, and if so, how?

Field: Agricultural Sciences

Subfield: Plant Pathology

Specialization: Biodiversity and Disease Ecology
