Shaping future forests: how can ecophysiology support climate‐smart forest management?
New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 5, Page 2778-2813, June 2026.Summary Climate change, particularly the associated increase in extreme events and disturbances, threatens the numerous environmental, social, and economic benefits that forests provide, both locally and globally. Heat and drought pose significant risks to forest ecosystems; the anticipated future climate is expected to exacerbate this trend ...

Evaluation of semiochemical based push-pull strategy for population suppression of ambrosia beetle vectors of laurel wilt disease in avocado. [PDF]
, 2020 Ambrosia beetles (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Scolytinae and Platypodinae) bore into tree xylem to complete their life cycle, feeding on symbiotic fungi.

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 5, Page 2966-2987, June 2026.Summary The oleoresin defense system of loblolly pine (Pinus taeda) protects trees from insects and pathogens and is an important source of renewable biofuels and chemicals, but the genetic basis of oleoresin production is poorly understood. We characterized the genetic architecture of oleoresin flow, resin canal number, stem wood terpene content, and ...

Physiological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 2, Page 226-236, June 2026.Larval diapause intensity of Monochamus alternatus follows a declining curve, beginning with an initial refractory phase and reaching termination after approximately 110 days of chilling at 9°C. Residual inhibitory state strongly influenced post‐chilling development; additional chilling shortened the diapause period more at 18°C than at warmer ...

The Role of Ice‐Rafted Debris (IRD) on Icebergs' Deterioration
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 9, 16 May 2026.Abstract During the last ice age, icebergs transported Ice‐Rafted Debris (IRD) more than 3,000 km across the North Atlantic. However, their effect on the deterioration of icebergs and thus where the deposits form is poorly understood. Laboratory experiments and a predictive model (with no fitting parameters) investigating the effects of sediment on ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.This study addresses the ecological role of coarse woody debris (CWD) as a thermally buffered microhabitat for saproxylic organisms in temperate eastern US forests. We measured internal and external log temperatures across four seasons in Southern Appalachian forests to test how log diameter, decay stage, and moisture influence thermal buffering.

Hakkuiden välitön vaikutus kirjanpainajan esiintymiseen varttuneissa talouskuusikoissa [PDF]
, 2014 Kirjanpainaja (Ips typographus) on merkittävin hyönteistuholainen kuuselle Suomessa ja Pohjoismaissa. Kirjanpainajat pystyvät runsaana esiintyessään kuivattamaan kuusia pystyyn.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.We used environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding across 135 temperate forest plots in Germany to examine how deadwood, tree‐related microhabitats (TreMs), and forest structure shape saproxylic arthropod communities. Structural equation modeling revealed that TreM richness and deadwood volume are key predictors of arthropod diversity, highlighting the ...

A Comparative Study of iDNA and airDNA for Biodiversity Assessments in Tropical Forest Fragments
Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 3, May–June 2026.Comparing invertebrate‐derived DNA and airborne eDNA across fragmented tropical forests, we show that iDNA recovers higher vertebrate richness from fewer samples, while airDNA offers greater field reliability. Together, both methods capture functional diversity gradients, supporting a combined approach for agroforestry biodiversity monitoring ...

Moose indifferent to canopy loss from forest disturbance by bark beetles
The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 4, May 2026.Moose showed strikingly similar patterns of habitat selection before and after widespread forest disturbance following an infestation of bark beetles. Our findings indicate that beetle‐kill does not appreciably alter habitat quality for moose and highlight the importance of riparian areas in sustaining moose as they contend with changing forests ...
