Hidden Microbiota Inhabiting in Pollen Reserves of Honey Bee (Apis mellifera) From Amazonas Region Revealed by DNA Metabarcoding

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 4, August 2026.
DNA metabarcoding of honey bee pollen reserves from Amazonas region reveals that microbial communities are strongly shaped by their ecosystem. Despite high taxonomic turnover across different habitats, these microbiomes maintain stable, essential functions for pollinator health, though they remain highly vulnerable to habitat homogenization.

Harringtonia lauricola Spread in Sassafras Root Systems in the Absence of Its Vector, the Redbay Ambrosia Beetle (Xyleborus glabratus)

Forest Pathology, Volume 56, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Laurel wilt is a vascular disease caused by a non‐native pathogen (Harringtonia lauricola) and an associated beetle vector (redbay ambrosia beetle; RAB; Xyleborus glabratus) affecting several members of the Lauraceae family in North America, including the ecologically and culturally important sassafras (Sassafras albidum).

Laser‐Enabled Biotechnology Platforms for Climate‐Resilient Crop Production: Mechanistic Insights and Future Prospects

Food and Energy Security, Volume 15, Issue 4, July/August 2026.
ABSTRACT Climate change poses a major threat to global food security through extreme weather events, expanding pathogen ranges, and increased agrochemical dependency. This review highlights the emerging role of laser biotechnology as a sustainable and precise strategy to enhance crop resilience and productivity under climate stress.

Fungi associated with ambrosia beetle Xylosandrus germanus in Slovakia

Biologia
AbstractThe black timber bark beetle (Xylosandrus germanus) is a strongly invasive ambrosia beetle and an important forest pest in Slovakia. This pest is closely associated with symbiotic fungi used as its food source. We investigated the fungi associated with X. germanus adults in Slovakia. In this study, Beauveria bassiana, B.

Plant kin recognition enhances abundance of symbiotic microbial partner. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
BackgroundThe stability of cooperative interactions among different species can be compromised by cheating. In the plant-mycorrhizal fungi symbiosis, a single mycorrhizal network may interact with many plants, providing the opportunity for individual ...

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 ...

Nature‐Positive Materials Engineering: Carbon Electrodes from Satoyama Biomass

The Chemical Record, Volume 26, Issue 7, July 2026.
Nature‐positive materials engineering can link satoyama forest stewardship with the design of carbon electrodes for batteries, supercapacitors, and electrocatalysis. By turning underused firewood and charcoal resources into functional carbons, this approach reduces mining footprints while supporting biodiversity, landscape resilience, and regional ...

Multi‐Omics Profiling of the Scaphoideus titanus Yeast‐Like Symbiont Guides the Bioinformatic Discovery of Related Fungal Symbioses in Insects

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 7, July 2026.
Genomic, proteomic and phylogenetic analyses of the obligate yeast‐like symbiont (YLS) associated with Scaphoideus titanus revealed retained metabolic flexibility and a monophyletic origin of insect‐associated YLSs within a free‐living fungal lineage. A novel computational pipeline was used to mine NCBI transcriptomic data and identified new candidate ...

Long‐term demography and spatial genetic structure reveal mechanisms of Sassafras albidum population persistence through clonality

American Journal of Botany, Volume 113, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Premise Vegetative regeneration is a key mechanism of woody plant persistence in forest ecosystems, and the coupled roles of basal sprouting and clonal growth in shaping long‐term population dynamics have been understudied. Basal sprouting replaces stems at fixed ramet locations, whereas clonal growth via root suckering produces spatially ...
