First Record of Arrhenophagus chionaspidis Aurivillius (Hymenoptera: Encyrtidae) Parasitizing White Mango Scale in Kenya: Its Potential Distribution and Prospects in Biocontrol

open access: yesJournal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The white mango scale, Aulacaspis tubercularis Newstead (Hemiptera: Diaspididae), is one of the most destructive pests of mango worldwide. Its current management in most of the invaded areas largely depends on the intensive use of chemical insecticides.

Dissecting the genetic basis of climatic adaptation in wild relatives (Malus baccata) for climate‐resilient apple breeding

open access: yesJournal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
This comprehensive map of genetic variation in wild apple (Malus baccata) and set of key genes associated with adaptation to temperature, precipitation, and soil properties establishes a foundation for breeding climate‐resilient apple cultivars and conserving the genetic resources of wild crop relatives.

Rhododendron diversity patterns provide new insights for conserving China's montane flora

open access: yesJournal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Integrating distribution, phylogenetic, and functional trait data for 603 Rhododendron species in China identified significant conservation hotspots of multidimensional diversity, particularly in the Hengduan Mountains. Climate seasonality and topographic heterogeneity jointly influenced these patterns; however, notable conservation gaps remained ...

Environmental influences on the maximum quantum yield of terrestrial primary production

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Temperature and aridity effects on terrestrial ecosystems' intrinsic quantum yield. Summary Historically, terrestrial biosphere models (TBMs) have assigned the intrinsic (maximum) quantum yield of photosynthesis (ϕ0)$$ {\phi}_0\Big) $$ a constant value for each plant functional type. However, experimental studies have shown that ϕ0$$ {\phi}_0 $$ – when

Eco‐evolutionary context modifies a destructive plant invader's response to climate

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Abiotic environment–fitness relationships can be shaped by evolutionary, ecological, and eco‐evolutionary contexts. Summary Understanding the relationship between climate and fitness will be important when predicting how plant populations respond to climate change. We conducted a replicated common garden experiment (4 sites × 2 yr) with 96 genotypes (n
