Pest categorisation of Malacosoma parallela. [PDF]
Abstract The EFSA Panel on Plant Health performed a pest categorisation of Malacosoma parallela (Staudinger) (Lepidoptera: Lasiocampidae) for the territory of the European Union, following commodity risk assessments of Berberis thunbergii, Malus domestica, Prunus persica and P. dulcis plants for planting from Türkiye, in which M.

Phylogenetic and phylogeographic evidence for the colonization success of the diplochorous Astydamia latifolia across the Canary Islands. [PDF]
The iconic Canarian Astydamia latifolia is a diplochorous species. In this study, we inferred a high phylogenetic isolation of this species and recurrent inter‐island colonization across the Canarian archipelago, as highlighted by the new method PAICE.

Pest categorisation of non-EU Scolytinae on non-coniferous hosts. [PDF]
Abstract The EFSA Panel on Plant Health performed a group pest categorisation for the EU territory of non‐EU Scolytinae (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) on non‐coniferous hosts, which total 6495 known species. Most species attack apparently healthy, weakened or dead trees, either feeding on the phloem (‘bark beetles’ subgroup) or on fungi inoculated into ...

Increased Temperature and Exposure to Ammonium Alter the Life Cycle of an Anuran Species. [PDF]
When chronic exposure to ammonium and artificial heating were applied to tadpoles, tadpoles in heated water were larger, metamorphosed earlier, and as smaller metamorphs. Heated water produced faster larvae but metamorphs reared in nonheated water jumped farther. Ammonium caused increased mortality. ABSTRACT Amphibian populations are undergoing a major

Echinops giganteus A. Rich. is an aromatic and medicinal plant of the Asteraceae family exploited in Cameroon under the access and benefit sharing (ABS) standard. Despite its importance, little information exists on the ecology of E. giganteus. The aim of the present study was to contribute to a better understanding of its ecology for sustainable ...

Hay meadows' overriding effect shapes ground beetle functional diversity in mountainous landscapes
Abstract Mountain regions are hotspots of biodiversity, and are particularly sensitive to human activities and global changes. Characterizing biodiversity using trait‐based approaches may improve the understanding of the evolutionary and mechanistic basis of ecological patterns in species distribution.
