Conned by the enemy: the entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium anisopliae lures and kills Drosophila suzukii

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 5, Page 4595-4606, May 2026.
Highly pathogenic isolates of Metarhizium anisopliae attracted Drosophila suzukii. Identifying the responsible compounds for this attraction could help the development of these isolates for pest monitoring and overall pest management. Abstract BACKGROUND Drosophila suzukii, commonly known as spotted wing drosophila (SWD), is a highly invasive and ...

A state and transition framework to guide riparian woodland vegetation management and environmental water decisions

open access: yesEcological Applications, Volume 36, Issue 3, April 2026.
Abstract River regulation and water extraction are major threats to the health and persistence of water‐dependent ecosystems, such as riparian woodlands and forests. In heavily modified agricultural landscapes, riparian vegetation is also impacted by site‐level stressors like livestock grazing, tree clearing, and weed invasions.
