The Vulnerability of New Zealand Forage Plants to Incursions by New Pests, Pathogens and Weeds, and the Case for Greater Protection

New Zealand Journal of Agricultural Research, Volume 69, Issue 1, February 2026.
We outline the diversity of pests, weeds and plant pathogens absent from New Zealand that threaten forage production, examine their potential import pathways, and outline the challenges of managing them should they arrive. The number and diversity of threats and pathways indicates ongoing incursions are inevitable.

Tree defenses, host choice, and reproductive success of a native bark beetle under novel outbreak conditions

Ecological Applications, Volume 36, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Bark beetles of the genus Dendroctonus are some of the most important disturbance agents in North American forests, having colonized conifers for millions of years. The selection pressure posed by tree‐killing bark beetles pushed trees to develop an arsenal of defensive strategies to which beetles have adapted in their turn.

Male‐Biased Adult Mortality in the Great Bustard Is Consistent With High Reproductive Costs and Aggravated by Anthropogenic Impact

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
Annual survival of great bustards (Otis tarda) was lower in males than in females, with minimum values just after the mating and incubation period, respectively, a pattern that is consistent with the reproductive cost hypothesis. Survival was lower in Madrid, a highly anthropized region (males: 0.874, females: 0.931), than in Villafáfila, where good ...
