“…Crop plants have been selected to produce high seed yields under conditions of high intraspecific densities (Weiner, Andersen, Wille, Griepentrog, & Olsen, 2010); however, native plants used for restoration may need more space in between plants (i.e., less intraspecific competition), or may need specific localized commensalisms (e.g., parasites or mycorhizae) in order to produce profitable yields (Felton et al, 2016). Increasingly, evidence suggests that fieldscale diversification promotes native pollination systems (Kremen & M'Gonigle, 2015), while high intraspecific densities within SPA may make populations more susceptible to disease (Dawson et al, 2012;Jensen, Dreiseitl, Sadiki, & Schoen, 2011;Lankau & Strauss, 2011;Shykoff & Bucheli, 1995). Disease management within SPA may require intercropping or even more careful attention to intraspecific genotypic diversity (Parker, 1986).…”
