Armillaria in New Zealand and Australia: A Review of Species Diversity, Ecology, Pathogenicity and Management

Plant Pathology, Volume 75, Issue 5, September‐October 2026.
Diverse Armillaria species occur in Australia and New Zealand, with some species acting as important pathogens causing root disease in forestry and horticultural systems. ABSTRACT Armillaria root disease (ARD), caused by pathogenic Armillaria species, is a significant constraint to forestry and horticultural production in New Zealand and Australia.

Feeding ecology of Australian Christmas beetles (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Rutelinae): Implications for conservation and habitat management

Austral Entomology, Volume 65, Issue 2, May 2026.
Abstract Christmas beetles (subfamily Rutelinae, genera Anoplognathus, Calloodes and Repsimus) are an ecologically important and culturally significant group of Australian scarabs, known for their striking appearance and seasonal mass emergences. Over the last decade, anecdotal reports suggest widespread population declines, raising concerns about ...

Phenology and Voltinism of Paropsisterna cloelia and Paropsis charybdis (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) in Temperate Maritime New Zealand

Austral Entomology, Volume 65, Issue 2, May 2026.
ABSTRACT The Eucalyptus variegated beetle (Paropsisterna cloelia) was established in New Zealand in 2016 and has caused substantial damage to selected host species. Previous field observations suggested that Pst. cloelia larvae may feed for a longer period during the year than the closely related Eucalyptus tortoise beetle (Paropsis charybdis), New ...

The post‐fire recovery of soil seed banks along a fire severity gradient in an Australian threatened mesic forest

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 4, Page 939-955, April 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Climate change has increased the likelihood of extreme events, increasing the number of days with dangerous fire weather conditions, resulting in fires with increased severity, frequency and extent.

Passive Acoustic Monitoring of Tasmanian Masked Owls and Swift Parrots: An Effective Tool for Conservation Actions

Austral Ecology, Volume 51, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT The Tasmanian masked owl (Tyto novaehollandiae subsp. castanops) and swift parrot (Lathamus discolor) rely on old forest features that are declining across their ranges in Tasmania, Australia. Under the Australian Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999, the swift parrot is listed as Critically Endangered, and the ...

Detecting and attributing climate change effects on vegetation: Australia as a test case

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 2, Page 461-485, March 2026.
Climate change is contributing to vegetation changes that threaten life support systems. Yet, inherent climatic variability and past and present human actions—such as clearing, burning and grazing regimes—also alter vegetation and complicate understanding of vegetation change. Australian ecosystems exemplify such complexity.

Integrating terrestrial and canopy laser scanning for comprehensive analysis of large old trees: Implications for single tree and biodiversity research

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, Volume 12, Issue 1, Page 5-20, February 2026.
Canopy laser scanning (CLS) enhances 3D measurements of large trees by lifting laser scanners into the canopy. Combining CLS with terrestrial laser scanning improves point cloud precision, reduces occlusion and enables detailed assessments of tree architecture and canopy biodiversity, opening new opportunities for forest ecology.

The Influence of Fire and Foliar Chemical Composition on the Diet of Southern Greater Gliders (Petauroides volans)

Austral Ecology, Volume 51, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Understanding diet selection in threatened species is crucial for effective conservation planning, particularly where bushfires alter food availability and quality. In Australian eucalypt forests, Eucalyptus leaves are the primary food for several arboreal marsupials, such as the southern greater glider (Petauroides volans).
