Insect Molecular Biology, EarlyView.Comprehensive genome and stage‐specific transcriptomes reveal 14,637 genes in Listronotus oregonensis, advancing genetic insights into a key agricultural pest. Compared with related species, L. oregonensis exhibits reduced chemoreceptor gene families but expanded detoxification gene clusters, reflecting its narrow host range and adaptability.

Cloning and analysis of cathepsin B gene of Radopholus similis
浙江大学学报. 农业与生命科学版, 2013 The banana burrowing nematode, Radopholus similis, is a migratory endoparasite plant nematode and severely harms many tropical and subtropical crops. It is the most important invasive species to banana worldwide, and is listed as a quarantine pest in ...

Integrated management of banana nematodes: Lessons from a case study in the French West Indies [PDF]
, 2010 Plant-parasitic nematodes are tiny worms that live in soils and roots; in the case of banana plants, they spend most of their life cycle in root and corm tissues. Their proliferation mainly disrupts nutrient and water uptake, delays growth, and may cause

Understanding marine biodiversity patterns and drivers: The fall of Icarus
Marine Ecology, EarlyView.Abstract Biodiversity patterns are fundamental in our understanding of the distribution of life, ecosystem function, and conservation. In this concept analysis, A survey of the existing knowledge on marine biodiversity patterns and drivers across latitudes, longitudes, and depths indicates that none of the postulated patterns represent a rule.

A burrowing ecosystem engineer positively affects its microbial prey under stressful conditions
Ecology and Evolution, 2019 Species that facilitate others under stressful conditions are often ecosystem engineers: organisms that modify or create physical habitat. However, the net effect of an engineering species on another depends on both the magnitude of the direct ...

Impacts of rodents in piggeries in Australia – review and pilot impact study
Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 3, Page 2177-2189, March 2026.Rodent impacts in Australian piggeries are under‐researched, with limited data on economic losses and control costs. A review and pilot study found average losses of AUD$100 000 annually. Key concerns include disease, damage, and control expenses.

Diverse reference genomes detect variants in the US winter wheat
The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 1, March 2026.Abstract The first hexaploid bread wheat reference genome from Chinese Spring was released in 2018 by the International Wheat Genome Sequencing Consortium and is considered as the industry standard reference. To explore the effects of different reference genomes on variant discovery, 29 hexaploid bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivars from the ...
