Risk factors for bark stripping damage on Norway spruce by red deer
Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Norway spruce Picea abies is an economically important tree species in Europe, actively managed for forestry. Among the most negative biotic factors for growth and hence forest production is damage caused by wildlife, such as damage through bark stripping by red deer Cervus elaphus.

The predatory behavior of ants: an impressive panoply of morphological adaptations
Insect Science, EarlyView.This review focuses on predation in ants, showing the wide diversity of cases from solitary foraging to group hunting tactics, as well as the evolution of mandible shape frequently adapted to capture specific prey. Although most ants are generalist feeders, finding their sugary substances directly on plants or indirectly via sap‐sucking insects, some ...

Worldwide and host-dependent variation in fungal endophyte diversity in twigs of eleven tree genera [PDF]
, 2019 Arboreal fungal endophytes are a highly diverse group of organisms associated with asymptomatic tissues and some of them are latent pathogens. The knowledge of fungal endophytes is limited, because previous studies mainly focused on foliar fungal endophytes of a limited number of host species and locations. We assessed the fungal endophyte diversity in

Insect Science, EarlyView.The release of gravid Exochomus quadripustulatus females proved to be effective in containing Toumeyella parvicornis infestations on stone pine trees, under open‐field condition. The ladybugs caused a lower infestation level compared to the trees that did not receive any ladybugs during the observation season.

The Decay and Fungal Succession of Apples with Bitter Rot Across a Vegetation Diversity Gradient
Phytobiomes Journal, 2022 Bitter rot is a disease of apple caused by fungi in the genus Colletotrichum. Management begins with removal of infected twigs and fruit from tree canopies to reduce overwintering inoculum.

Annals of Applied Biology, EarlyView.Methodologies for the early detection of Phyllosticta citricarpa in air and rainwater samples were developed and applied over three consecutive years (2018–2021) in four European citrus sites, previously reported to harbour the pathogen. Phyllosticta citricarpa was not detected in plant, air, or rainwater samples, and no CBS symptoms were observed on ...
