How to eradicate an invasive forest pest without clear‐cutting
The results show that selective cutting applied together with modern remote sensing surveillance methods is an environmentally friendly alternative to the mandatory clear‐cutting for PWN control in the EU. Abstract The pine wood nematode (PWN), Bursaphelenchus xylophilus, is an invasive species causing high pine mortality in invaded areas outside its ...

The morphology of larval and pupal stages of longhorn beetles is of critical importance in both evolutionary and applied contexts, often providing diagnostic characters that are inaccessible in adults. Nevertheless, the systematic utility of immature‐stage morphology has been limited by challenges in accurate species‐level identification, largely due ...
