Impact of pine looper defoliation in Scots pine [PDF]
, 2003 Widespread defoliation of forests caused by insects or fungi cause economic losses throughout the world. Successful outbreak management involves cost/benefit estimation and requires knowledge of potential yield losses. Currently, such knowledge is scarce.

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 ...

Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 5, May 2026.Spatial synchrony of population fluctuations has major consequences for the impacts of forest insect pest outbreaks at regional scales. We tested the predictions that the strength and drivers of this synchrony would differ among species according to their dispersal abilities and feeding guilds.

Managing species, managing connections: Social‐ecological alignment in state forestry
People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 5, Page 1452-1469, May 2026.Abstract Forests are shaped not only by ecological processes but also by the actions and interactions of those managing them. In state‐managed multifunctional forests, forest district managers play a central role in translating policies into practice.

Lecanicillium aphanocladii: a biocontrol agent against insect pests and phytopathogens
Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 5, Page 4089-4103, May 2026.Recent research findings on the biocontrol potential of Lecanicillium aphanocladii fungus against insect‐pests and plant diseases were highlighted. This review indicates that several L. aphanocladii strains show great potential to be developed as multipurpose biocontrol agents active against several insect‐pests, plant diseases and plant parasitic ...
