Variation among plant species in the number of associated herbivore and
pathogen species is predicted to fit a species-area relationship in which
the area or biomass embodied by a plant species is a function of
individual size and geographic range size. This hypothesis is tested using
published estimates of geographic range, individual size, and species
richness of fungal-pathogens for 490 plant species occurring in the United
States and controlling for sampling intensity and phylogenetic effects.
The number of pathogens found on a plant species increases with the
metrics of plant species' area and/or habitat diversity and their
effects are similar between gymnosperm and angiosperm lineages. The
strength of this pattern across a diverse set of plant lineages suggests
that accumulation and persistence of pathogen species on plant species are
governed by the same processes among temperate plants.
Tip_species_DATAThis file contains data on body size (maximum individual
height), sampling intensity (number of citations returned in WOS search of
latin binomial), geographic range size (estimated using state and county
reports), and number of recorded fungal pathogen species for each plant
species used in the analysis. The first six columns give taxonomic data
for each species including order, family, genus, and species. “WOScite”
and “CI” are the number of citations and log (number of citations),
respectively. “HtMeters” and “Loght1” are the untransformed and
log-transformed values for plant species height in meters. “ANG-GYM”
column describes which clade (angiosperm or gymnosperm) a plant species
belongs to. Wither plant species are native to North America (native) and
plant species functional group designations (Functional_group) are listed
next. Columns N through T contain estimates of plant species geographic
range size (km2) and log10-transformed values. State-based estimates are
noted with “ST” in column title and county-based estimates with “Co”.
Log-transformed values for county-based range estimates excluding Alaska
are labeled “logSA48” and estimates including Alaska are labeled
“logSA49”. “PSR” refers to pathogen species richness, i.e. the number of
reported fungal pathogen species for each plant species. The log (PSR+1)
values are listed in the column labeled “LogPSRp1”.fulltreeThis is a nexus
