Abstract

The Fourth International Workshop on the Genetics of Host-Parasite Interactions in Forestry (July 31-August 5, 2011) included a session on “Ecology and Evolutionary Biology of Resistance and Tolerance, Natural Systems.” Within this session, I gave a talk entitled “An overview of ecological and evolutionary research on disease in ‘natural’ systems” that reviewed research on disease that is primarily in ecology and evolutionary biology journals (as opposed to forestry and plant pathology journals). Several people requested that I provide details of the references listed in that talk, and this annotated reference list is the result. To reduce the length of this document, I note that several of the references in my talk were cited in a recent review article (Alexander 2010). Thus, instead of writing the full reference, I have simply listed “PD” next to the names of the authors for citations included in this review.
