Evolutionary history and recombination in the mitochondrial carrier SLC25 superfamily analyzed by similarities in the exon and transmembrane α‐helix sequences

Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Mitochondrial carriers (MCs), which constitute a superfamily also called the solute carrier family 25 (SLC25), are characterized by conserved signature motif sequences and a six‐transmembrane α‐helical transporter domain. They transport a wide variety of substrates ranging from protons, inorganic ions, citric acid cycle intermediates, and ...

Biogeography of Bursaphelenchus Species Driven by Climate, Vectors and Hosts: Implications for Forest Pathology Under Climate Change

Forest Pathology, Volume 56, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Wood‐inhabiting nematodes of the genus Bursaphelenchus are a group with significant ecological and economic impacts on global forest ecosystems. This review aims to update current knowledge on their spatial distribution, host‐vector associations and the factors driving species expansion under the framework of climate change.

Spatial and temporal patterns of bark beetle and defoliator outbreaks, and their interactions, in the Pacific Northwest

Ecological Applications, Volume 36, Issue 5, July 2026.
Abstract The dynamics of many forest insects are changing in response to climate warming; however, patterns are not always consistent among or within taxa. Changes in outbreak dynamics for individual species have received much recent attention, but the potential for interactions among species has received less.

Thermal Stress Has Size‐Dependent but Not Sex‐Specific Effects on Mortality in an Insect Model

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
Climate change is increasing the frequency and intensity of heatwaves, posing a major risk to animal populations. We exposed male and female burying beetles of a wide range of body sizes to a simulated heatwave and found that heat stress increased mortality. Smaller individuals were especially vulnerable, but mortality did not differ between the sexes.

Species Distribution Models and Abundance Estimates Enhance Breeding Bird Atlas Data

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
Our primary goal was to leverage the large amount of systematic and volunteer‐based data produced by the Minnesota Breeding Bird Atlas to develop species distribution models and population estimates for as many breeding bird species as possible. We utilized three complementary techniques to develop species distribution models and maps for 136 breeding ...

Host tree preference and performance of the Eurasian spruce bark beetle (Ips typographus) on Scots pine

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 6, Page 5850-5860, June 2026.
Ips typographus showed lower reproductive output in an occasional host (Pinus sylvestris) under laboratory conditions, and did not prefer its main host (Picea abies) over P. sylvestris in two‐choice bioassays. Abstract BACKGROUND The Eurasian spruce bark beetle, Ips typographus, is one of the most serious pests of Norway spruce (NS, Picea abies), with ...

Biological Pesticides as Viable Alternative to Synthetic Pesticides for Sustainable Agriculture and Nutrition: A Systematic Review

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The overuse of synthetic pesticides in agriculture has raised significant environmental and health concerns. Biopesticides have emerged as viable, environmentally compatible alternatives. However, recent comprehensive reviews integrating all biopesticide categories and emphasizing their contribution to synthetic‐pesticide‐free and health‐safe ...

Global Diversity Estimates Need to Acknowledge Species–Area Relationships

Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 35, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Many studies have tried to estimate the number of undescribed species based on the known diversity. These estimates often rely on extrapolation based on data from a limited number of species. Although statistical methods provide accurate inference when generalizing from a random sample, their predictions will be biased when based on

Constitutive and inducible oleoresin defenses share genetic architectures and mechanisms in Pinus taeda

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 5, Page 2966-2987, June 2026.
Summary The oleoresin defense system of loblolly pine (Pinus taeda) protects trees from insects and pathogens and is an important source of renewable biofuels and chemicals, but the genetic basis of oleoresin production is poorly understood. We characterized the genetic architecture of oleoresin flow, resin canal number, stem wood terpene content, and ...
