L.67: isolates collected over 10 years between 2003 and 2012 L.72: ...effect of cultivar on genetic diversity of the pathogen by assessing... L.116: Question: is this ~2.5cm? If you say >2.5cm, what is the upper limit? (ZNK: perhaps I worded this incorrectly; perhaps: "removing plant growth beyond 2.5 cm above the fourth node.") L.253: Comment: better to give absolute numbers since P<0.05 can be 0.0001, too. L. 261: Comment: Is this for Year, Host, and MCG? If so, better to mention that or remove region and just mention P ≤ 0.007 L.277: ...effect for MLHs (P = 7.44e^-4^) ~for MLHs~, with means that... L.341: Did Carbone and Kohn study temporal structure as well? (ZNK: no, they did not investigate that) L.462: What is the substrate others have used?

Contribution: analyzed the data, contributed analysis tools, wrote the paper, edited and reviewed drafts of the paper.
