Exploiting Native Biodiversity for Invasive Species Management: The Case of Exorista larvarum as a Natural Enemy of the Invasive Box Tree Moth Cydalima perspectalis

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
The investigations evaluated the performance of the native parasitoid Exorista larvarum (L.) on last instar Cydalima perspectalis (Walker) larvae, using the factitious host Galleria mellonella (L.) as a control. Laboratory bioassays were conducted using no‐choice and choice (1:1 and 5:5) experimental designs.

Selective seasonal foraging behavior of herbivores on a Danish island demonstrated by DNA metabarcoding

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Understanding how herbivores influence plant communities is critical for managing biodiversity and ecosystem functions, particularly in conservation areas undergoing restoration or rewilding, where free‐ranging large herbivores impact the vegetation development.

Living in the Mycelial World

Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.
Abstract This manuscript documents a systematic ethnomycological analysis of ethnographic archives. Focusing on texts describing human–fungi interactions, I conduct a global, cross‐cultural review of mushroom use, covering 193 societies worldwide. The study reveals diverse mushroom‐related cultural practices, emphasizing the significance of fungi ...

Non‐Additive Interactions Between Multiple Mutualists and Host Plant Genotype Simultaneously Promote Increased Plant Growth and Pathogen Defence

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 7, Page 4134-4151, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Understanding the impact of microbial interactions on plants is critical for maintaining healthy native ecosystems and sustainable agricultural practices. Despite the reality that genetically distinct plants host multiple microbes of large effect in the field, it remains unclear the extent to which host genotypes modulate non‐additive ...

Variation in Climate Shapes Seedling Recruitment Along Resource Gradients in a Northern Hardwood Forest

Global Change Biology Communications, Volume 1, Issue 2, June 2026.
Seedling counts over 26 years revealed that wetter‐site temperate tree species struggle to recruit in warmer, drier years, whereas drier‐site species are more climate‐tolerant. Shadier forests buffered seedlings from heat and drought. Local soils and canopy cover strongly shaped outcomes, revealing considerable differences among species in climate ...

Foliar infrared spectra track nematode density and symptom-specific phytobiome signatures in beech leaf disease

Frontiers in Forests and Global Change
Beech leaf disease (BLD), caused by the nematode Litylenchus crenatae ssp. mccannii (LC), poses a severe threat to American beech (Fagus grandifolia) across eastern North America.

Early Physiological and Transcriptomic Responses of Container‐Grown Blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum L. ‘Sierra’) to Partial Substrate Replacement With Biochar

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Biochar has been widely investigated for its potential to improve substrate properties and plant performance, offering a potential partial replacement for peat in soilless cultivation amid declining peat availability. However, information on its short‐term physiological and molecular effects during the early establishment of container‐grown ...

Predation on Artificial Caterpillars Varies With Vertical Stratification but Not Light Gradients in a Sugar Maple Temperate Forest

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 6, Page 559-569, June 2026.
Predation pressure varies vertically, with highest arthropod predation in the understory and highest bird predation in the canopy. Light availability differs across vertical strata, but predation patterns are more strongly influenced by height and forest structure than by light gradients.
