Combining paleoecology and modeling to explore cascading disturbances in forest ecosystems

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 10, October 2026.
Climate‐induced cascading disturbance interactions pose a major challenge to the sustainable provision of forest ecosystem services to society. Developing a deeper understanding and enhanced capacity to simulate these interactions is essential for identifying disturbance‐induced tipping points in forest ecosystems, and for improving management in ...

Divergent investment in direct versus indirect defense in Populus tremuloides across a latitudinal gradient

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract Theory predicts that plant defense against herbivores should be greatest towards the equator due to the strong selective pressure of more populous and diverse herbivore communities; yet recent work suggests variation in plant defense is more complex, predicting divergent patterns of investment across defense types and underlying environmental ...

Classification, natural history, and evolution of the Epiphloeinae (Coleoptera: Cleridae) : 3. The genera Parvochaetus, n. gen., Amboakis, n. gen., and Ellipotoma Spinola [PDF]

, 2006
The checkered beetle genera Parvochaetus, n. gen. and Amboakis, n. gen. are described and the genus Ellipotoma Spinola is reviewed. Four new species plus P. linearis (Gorham), which represents a new combination, comprise Parvochaetus: P.

The Biological Roles of Class II Hydrophobins at the Cell Wall of Filamentous Ascomycetes

Journal of Basic Microbiology, Volume 66, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT One of the most elusive aspects of fungal cell wall biology has been dilucidating the specific functions of most cell wall proteins. Class II hydrophobins are small amphipathic proteins produced exclusively by filamentous ascomycetes. A comparative synthesis of their biological functions across species has been lacking for this specific group ...

Insect communities of late Pleistocene steppe–tundra and Holocene boreal forest ecosystems in central Yukon Territory, Canada

Journal of Quaternary Science, Volume 41, Issue 7, Page 1178-1199, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Subfossil insect communities from the Quartz Creek site provide a detailed record of both Late Pleistocene steppe–tundra and Holocene boreal forest ecosystems in central Yukon Territory, Canada. Fifteen Pleistocene assemblages (marine isotope stages [MIS] 4 to 2) are dominated by steppe–tundra and dry‐tundra taxa, particularly the weevils ...

Predictive Model for Bark Beetle Outbreaks in European Forests

Bark beetle outbreaks and forest mortality have rocketed in European forests because of warmer winters, intense droughts, and poor management. The methods developed to predict a bark beetle outbreak have three main limitations: (i) a small-spatial-scale ...

Olfaction in the Colorado beetle at the onset of host plant selection [PDF]

, 1979
Long-range olfactory orientation of the adult Colorado beetle was studied in a low- speed wind tunnel. The odour of fully grown potato plants elicits an upwind locomotory response in Colorado beetles (odour-conditioned positive anemotaxis), and increases

Dose–response modelling uncovers compound‐specific inhibitory effects of host defence volatiles on mountain pine beetle fungal symbionts

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 10, Page 10241-10250, October 2026.
Host defence volatiles inhibit mountain pine beetle fungal symbionts in a compound‐ and enantiomer‐specific manner, with distinct dose–response profiles that reveal the multitarget chemical defences of beetle–fungi symbiotes. Abstract BACKGROUND The mountain pine beetle relies on symbiotic fungi to overcome host tree defences, yet these fungi must ...

Data for: Tree defenses, host choice, and reproductive success of a native bark beetle under novel outbreak conditions, 2011-2013 & 2022-2023, Beltrami Island State Forest, MN

Data consists of four different CSV files. One contains raw field data regarding tree characteristics and year of beetle colonization. One contains raw and calculated field data regarding beetle reproductive success based on tree.

Integrating local habitat structure and landscape heterogeneity is essential to conserve multitaxonomic biodiversity in European primary forests

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 10, October 2026.
Our results demonstrate that the drivers of primary forest biodiversity are largely context‐dependent; therefore, conservation strategies based on single biodiversity indicators or individual structural targets are likely to be ineffective. To mitigate the impacts of habitat loss and conserve the full spectrum of primary forest biodiversity, management
