Fruit‐Piercing Moth Serrodes partita (Fabricius) (Lepidoptera: Erebidae) in Soft Citrus: Feeding Behaviour and Damage Patterns for Improved Management in the Eastern Cape, South Africa

African Journal of Ecology, Volume 64, Issue 7, October 2026.
ABSTRACT The fruit‐piercing moth, Serrodes partita (Lepidoptera: Erebidae), is a significant pest of soft citrus in South Africa. The adult moth pierces ripe and ripening fruit, leading to fruit rot. The damage is challenging to detect due to the delayed onset of symptoms. The study investigated the feeding preferences and damage patterns of S. partita

Are novel and co‐xenic associations common in alien fungal and fungus‐like plant pathogens?

New Phytologist, Volume 252, Issue 2, Page 843-860, October 2026.
Possible scenarios for plant–pathogen associations during invasion. An introduced plant may occur in a new area without its pathogen (enemy release) or together with its pathogen (co‐introduction). The presence of the alien plant (in red) and its co‐introduced pathogen (in dark red) can result in pathogen spillover to co‐occurring plants. Host jumps to
