Cooperative Breeding in the Ambrosia Beetle Xyleborus affinis and Management of Its Fungal Symbionts

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2020
Fungus-farming is known from attine ants, macrotermites, and ambrosia beetles (Scolytinae, Platypodinae). Farming ant and termite societies are superorganismal and grow fungal cultivars in monocultures.

Environmental drivers influencing the ambrosia beetle community: The primary role of geographic and climatic drivers in chestnut‐growing areas

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 28, Issue 4, Page 575-587, November 2026.
Ethanol‐baited traps were placed in cultivated chestnut orchards (a) and mixed environments with assorted tree composition (b), over a 2‐year monitoring period in two valleys (NW Italy). A total of 118,286 ambrosia beetles was collected, representing six species.

Ceratocystiopsis quercina sp. nov. Associated with Platypus cylindrus on Declining Quercus suber in Portugal

Biology, 2022
Platypus cylindrus is the most common ambrosia beetle in stands of Quercus suber in Portugal. This insect farms specialized fungi in sapwood galleries, using its mycangia to carry and store these organisms.

Sedimentary Ancient DNA Tracks Multi‐Kingdom Ecosystem Reorganizations Following Sequential Human Land Use at Crawford Lake

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 17, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Crawford Lake has an exceptional stratigraphic record that began recording biannual (varved) sedimentation in the lake basin ~750 years ago, preserving evidence of shifting cultural zones and agricultural practices, from Late Woodland Period Indigenous agriculturalists to the impacts of industrialization during the late 19th century.

Dietary Terpenoids in Advancing Biofilm‐Mediated Cancer Prevention: Antibiofilm Cascade, Molecular Crosstalk, and Nano‐Facilitated Functional Delivery

Cell Biochemistry and Function, Volume 44, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT The role of microbes in cancer is gaining attention these days, especially in the context of tumor‐associated biofilms and dysbiotic microbiota. Biofilm‐producing microorganisms, such as Fusobacterium nucleatum and Helicobacter pylori, trigger oncogenic inflammation and immune evasion in tumor initiation and progression, and in the development

Birch Rust Spore Exposure and Upper Airway Symptom Dynamics in a Subarctic Region: Indications for a Novel Seasonal Allergen

Clinical and Translational Allergy, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Airway allergies affect 20%–30% of the global population, with pollen and fungal spores representing major environmental triggers. Although fungal spores are far more abundant than pollen, their allergenic role—particularly from phytopathogenic rust fungi such as birch rust (BR)—remains poorly understood.

Effects of invertebrates and local environment on decomposition rates of dead plant and animal biomass along an elevation gradient

Ecological Monographs, Volume 96, Issue 3, August 2026.
Abstract Decomposition of necromass, that is, dead biomass of plants and animals, is an essential process across ecosystems, primarily influenced by climate, necromass characteristics, and decomposer communities, but local environmental conditions like vegetation and soil can also modify large‐scale patterns.
