Metabarcoding-based fungal diversity on coarse and fine particulate organic matter in a first-order stream in Nova Scotia, Canada [version 1; referees: 2 approved]

F1000Research, 2015
Most streams receive substantial inputs of allochthonous organic material in the form of leaves and twigs (CPOM, coarse particulate organic matter). Mechanical and biological processing converts this into fine particulate organic matter (FPOM).

“Alien versus predator”: predatory effect of coccinellid Exochomus quadripustulatus on the scale insect Toumeyella parvicornis. An open‐field experimentation on the Pinus pinea of Rome

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.

Changing climates and environments within the complex Middle to Late Pleistocene fill of an overdeepened valley at Niederweningen, Switzerland

Boreas, EarlyView.
Glacially overdeepened valleys in the northern Alpine Foreland preserve Middle to Late Pleistocene sedimentary sequences that may serve as valuable archives for reconstructing past environmental changes in response to shifts in climate. This study presents a multidisciplinary analysis of two sediment cores from the overdeepened Wehntal Valley at ...

Endophytic Fungal Assemblages from Inner Bark and Twig of Terminalia arjuna W. & A. (Combretaceae)

World Journal of Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2005
Fungal endophytes reside in healthy tissues of all terrestrial plant taxa studied to date and are diverse and abundant in tropical woody angiosperms. Endophytic fungi were isolated from Terminalia arjuna, an important ethno pharmacological plant extensively used in ayurvedic medicines to treat heart ailments. Isolations were made from symptomless fresh

Palaeoenvironmental and climatic changes from the lateglacial of the Saalian to the Late Weichselian in central Poland: a multiproxy study from Józefów

Boreas, EarlyView.
Józefów site is a case study which provides a detailed record of environmental and climate changes and confirms the main traces of the landscape morphogenesis of the Late Pleistocene established in central‐eastern Europe. This study presents a multiproxy reconstruction of palaeoenvironment under variable climatic conditions from the retreat of the ...

Diplodia africana causing dieback disease on Juniperus phoenicea: a new host and first report in the northern hemisphere

Phytopathologia Mediterranea, 2012
Branch dieback was observed on Phoenicean juniper trees, in a natural growing area on Caprera Island (Italy), during 2009 and 2010. Fungal isolates obtained from symptomatic twigs and branches show­ing dieback and bark necrosis were identified as ...

Profiling Walnut Fungal Pathobiome Associated with Walnut Dieback Using Community-Targeted DNA Metabarcoding

Plants, 2023
Walnut dieback can be caused by several fungal pathogenic species, which are associated with symptoms ranging from branch dieback to fruit necrosis and blight, challenging the one pathogen–one disease concept.

Exploiting Native Biodiversity for Invasive Species Management: The Case of Exorista larvarum as a Natural Enemy of the Invasive Box Tree Moth Cydalima perspectalis

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
The investigations evaluated the performance of the native parasitoid Exorista larvarum (L.) on last instar Cydalima perspectalis (Walker) larvae, using the factitious host Galleria mellonella (L.) as a control. Laboratory bioassays were conducted using no‐choice and choice (1:1 and 5:5) experimental designs.

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
