Against the odds: Nesting specialization and foraging ecology provide insights into climate change responses in a mountain bee

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
A unique high‐elevation Exoneura bee defies typical elevation‐driven declines in bee activity, nesting exclusively in dead branches of snow gums near the alpine tree line. Nesting and foraging are tightly linked to snow gum presence, with most activity occurring within 30 m of these trees. Biophysical modelling indicates the bee's thermally constrained

A multi-faceted approach for determining the reproductive biology of the causal agent of frosty pod rot of cacao Moniliophthora roreri

, 2014
Moniliophthora roreri causes cacao frosty pod rot disease rendering seeds useless for chocolate production. Before the 1950s it was confined to north-western South America but currently the disease has spread north as far as Mexico and south to Bolivia ...

Vaccination Reduces Shedding of Salmonid Alphavirus Subtype 3, but Bacterial Co‐Infection Influences the Effect

Journal of Fish Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Waterborne horizontal transmission of viral diseases in fish relies on the release of infectious virus particles (termed shedding) into the aquatic environment. Both the rate and duration of shedding are critical for efficient viral spread, making interventions that reduce shedding valuable for disease control.

Reconstruction of a genomic-scale metabolic model of Moniliophthora roreri: Causal fungus of cacao frosty pod rot

, 2020
RESUMEN: La moniliasis en Theobroma cacao es causada por el hongo hemibiotrófico Moniliophthora roreri. La enfermedad comienza cuando los conidios de M. roreri aterrizan en la superficie de las vainas sanas de la planta.

Global distribution and biogeography of ericoid mycorrhizal fungi

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Global predictions of local ericoid mycorrhizal fungal richness, its latitudinal trends and environmental predictors. Summary Ericoid mycorrhizal (ErM) fungi play a crucial role across terrestrial ecosystems, forming mutualistic symbiosis with Ericaceae and contributing to soil organic matter dynamics.

Organ‐specific terpenoid responses in Tanacetum vulgare are chemotype‐dependent

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Common tansy varieties defend differently: some boost root chemicals against soil pests, while others release stronger leaf scents against aphids. Abstract Specialized metabolites such as terpenoids are known to mediate plant defence mechanisms. However, how terpenoid diversity governs inducible chemistry across organs remains poorly understood.

Symbiotic and endophytic fungi as biocontrols against cocoa (Theobroma cacao L.) phytopathogens [PDF]

, 2017
Cocoa (Theobroma cacao L.) is a tropical tree, seriously affected by fungal diseases. To control several pathogens, biological methods are prescribed since they are friendly to the environment and easy to use.

Living in the Mycelial World

Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.
Abstract This manuscript documents a systematic ethnomycological analysis of ethnographic archives. Focusing on texts describing human–fungi interactions, I conduct a global, cross‐cultural review of mushroom use, covering 193 societies worldwide. The study reveals diverse mushroom‐related cultural practices, emphasizing the significance of fungi ...

Real‐Time, Inline Quantitative MRI Enabled by Scanner‐Integrated Machine Learning: A Proof of Principle With NODDI

Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, Volume 96, Issue 2, Page 986-995, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Purpose The clinical feasibility and translation of many advanced quantitative MRI (qMRI) techniques are inhibited by their restriction to ‘research mode’, due to resource‐intensive, offline parameter estimation. This work aimed to achieve ‘clinical mode’ qMRI, by real‐time, inline parameter estimation with a trained neural network (NN) fully ...

Identification of Molecular Markers and Quantitative Trait Loci linked to resistance to Vascular Streak Dieback and Phytophthora pod rot of Cacao Theobroma cacao L) [PDF]

, 2014
In Papua New Guinea (PNG), cacao is an important cash crop with an annual production of over 50,000 tonnes of dry beans and generates over $US50 million. More than 80% of the production comes from smallholders.
