Management and tree dieback alter beetle assemblage structure and body size distribution in a temperate German forest

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
Forest management and climate‐induced tree dieback alter the structural characteristics of forests, which could subsequently lead to changes in the structure of beetle assemblages. Beetle assemblages in more open forests exhibited less even abundance distributions, with fewer, more dominant species (higher rates of decline (r), higher dominance (d ...

Development of an Artificial Liquid Diet for Allelochemical Delivery in Lycorma delicatula

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Spotted lanternfly, Lycorma delicatula White (Hemiptera: Fulgoridae), is an invasive phloem‐feeding planthopper native to Asia, which poses a growing threat to US agriculture due to its broad host range and rapid spread since its 2014 detection. To better understand how L.

Invasive plant species for compost production: Review of environmental and economic insights

Journal of Environmental Quality, Volume 55, Issue 4, July/August 2026.
Abstract Invasive plant species pose significant ecological and economic challenges, threatening biodiversity and altering soil properties, while conventional control methods are often costly and resource‐intensive. This review examines the potential of composting invasive plant biomass as a viable and sustainable alternative that aligns with circular ...

Management of invasive alien plants in forests: A global perspective

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 7, July 2026.
This review exposes urgent and critical knowledge gaps in forest IAP management, which need addressing to meet global targets for biodiversity and forest health. These gaps include highly uneven global research effort, narrow species focus, limited method replication, overlooked seasonal effects, and inconsistent cost reporting.

Evaluation of the papermaking potential of Ailanthus altissima [PDF]

Industrial Crops and Products, 2013
Abstract In this work, Ailanthus altissima (tree-of-heaven) wood was analyzed for its chemical, morphological and papermaking properties. The A. altissima wood was cooked under kraft conditions using different active alkali charges and then handsheets were produced with the pulps having a kappa number of 16.

Update of the list of qualified presumption of safety (QPS) recommended microbiological agents intentionally added to food or feed as notified to EFSA 24: Suitability of taxonomic units notified to EFSA until March 2026

EFSA Journal, Volume 24, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract The Qualified Presumption of Safety (QPS) process was developed to provide a harmonised safety assessment approach to support EFSA Scientific Panels and Units. The QPS approach assesses the taxonomic identity, body of knowledge and safety of microorganisms intentionally added to the food and feed chain.

Targeting EZH2 in Cancer: From Molecular Mechanisms to Clinical Translation

MedComm – Oncology, Volume 5, Issue 2, June 2026.
The abnormal overexpression or gain‐of‐function mutations of EZH2 play a significant role in cancer occurrence and progression, highlighting the importance and potential of EZH2 as a cancer biomarker. Therefore, screening for effective and safe small‐molecule inhibitors, degraders, and natural compounds targeting EZH2 through preclinical cancer models ...

Using phenology to improve invasive plant detection in fine‐scale hyperspectral drone‐based images

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, Volume 12, Issue 3, Page 462-478, June 2026.
Using drone‐based hyperspectral images of mixed temperate successional forests collected over a growing season, detection algorithms were produced for three invasive species of interest, which are not only invasive in Virginia but also much of the U.S.: Ailanthus altissima (tree of heaven), Elaeagnus umbellata (autumn olive), and Rhamnus davurica ...

Spectral variability in fine-scale drone-based imaging spectroscopy does not impede detection of target invasive plant species

Frontiers in Remote Sensing, 2023
Land managers are making concerted efforts to control the spread of invasive plants, a task that demands extensive ecosystem monitoring, for which unoccupied aerial vehicles (UAVs or drones) are becoming increasingly popular.
