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

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.Acalolepta aesthetica is a non‐native cerambycid established on the Island of Hawaiʻi. We show its preferred hosts are woody species that are highly valued for agricultural, horticultural and cultural uses. We used a resource selection function to estimate host preferences and found that kukui (Aleurites moluccanus), the state tree, was preferred ...

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 ...

GmSNAP14: a key contributor to soybean cyst nematode resistance in soybean
New Phytologist, EarlyView.Summary Soybean (Glycine max) plants counteract soybean cyst nematode (SCN, Heterodera glycines Ichinohe) infection through an impairment of soluble N‐ethylmaleimide‐sensitive factor (NSF) attachment protein (α‐SNAP) – NSF interactions and vesicular trafficking leading to cellular toxicity in response to nematode feeding.

Insect Molecular Biology, Volume 35, Issue 2, Page 126-138, April 2026.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.
