Temperature Alters Specificity in a Host–Parasite Interaction

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
The Red Queen Hypothesis predicts that host–parasite coevolution maintains genetic variation through strong genetic specificity, but this specificity may be sensitive to environmental conditions. Using Meloidogyne arenaria and its parasite Pasteuria penetrans, we tested host–parasite interactions across three temperatures and found specificity at two ...

The impacts of biological invasions

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1255-1310, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The Anthropocene is characterised by a continuous human‐mediated reshuffling of the distributions of species globally. Both intentional and unintentional introductions have resulted in numerous species being translocated beyond their native ranges, often leading to their establishment and subsequent spread – a process referred to as biological

Strengthening Predictive Models for Wheat Stem Rust Infection Risk in a Changing Climate: Gaps and Opportunities

Plant Pathology, Volume 75, Issue 3, May–June 2026.
Here we review environmental data underpinning epidemiological models for wheat stem rust, highlighting gaps that, once addressed, would significantly enhance the predictive power of these tools. ABSTRACT Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici (Pgt) is a major global fungal pathogen that causes stem rust of wheat (Triticum spp.) (the primary and principal ...

Various Population Structures of Cryphonectria parasitica in Cáceres (Spain) Determine the Feasibility of the Biological Control of Chestnut Blight with Hypovirulent Strains

Agronomy, 2023
Chestnut blight, caused by Cryphonectria parasitica, is a severe disease that may be biologically controlled by the use of hypovirulent strains, but the diversity of the pathogen population affects biocontrol feasibility.

Demographic and genetic factors affect the use of translocation for evolutionary rescue: A case study of American chestnut using simulation

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 3, March 2026.
These findings underscore the importance, complexity and flexibility of strategic translocations for ensuring the recovery of plant species limited by adaptive genetic diversity. Abstract For many plant species at risk, recovery depends on supplementing populations with adaptive genetic diversity through translocations but specific introduction ...
