Potential of endophytic Beauveria bassiana against Coraebus (Coleoptera: Buprestidae) oak borers

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 4, Page 3523-3531, April 2026.
This study demonstrates that an endophytic, oak‐associated strain of Beauveria bassiana exhibits adaptations to Quercus plants and potential against Coraebus boring beetles, supported by distinctive biological traits. Abstract BACKGROUND Oak borers in the genus Coraebus, including the bark‐ and the wood‐boring beetles C. florentinus and C. undatus, are

Limitations of Common Molecular Markers in Fungal Biodiversity Analysis and the Benefits of Their Synergistic Use

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 3, April 2026.
ABSTRACT High‐throughput sequencing of the Internal Transcribed Spacer (ITS) regions is the primary method for estimating fungal diversity from environmental DNA. However, reliance solely on ITS markers is complicated by its high variability in sequence length and the presence of multiple variants within a single genome, which can bias diversity ...

Unveiling the Hidden Drivers: How Vegetation Cover, Season and Forest Management Shape the Soil Microbial Community in Two Mediterranean Forest Ecosystems

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 2, April 2026.
Forest management affects microbial community composition depending on forest type. Vegetation type has the strongest effect on microbial composition, while management alters community structure without affecting function, highlighting the importance of vegetation in forest soil ecosystem dynamics.

Towards a Novel Biocontrol Strategy: High Performance of Optimised Cell Wall‐Degrading Enzymes Secreted by Escovopsis primorosea LBM 277

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 2, April 2026.
Escovopsis primorosea LBM 277 efficiently produced proteases, β‐1,3‐glucanases and chitinases under submerged fermentation using Leucoagaricus gongylophorus cell walls and Mandels complex. RSM‐BBD optimization significantly increased enzyme activity. The enzymatic cocktail remained stable for 30 days at room temperature and pH 4–6, aligning with the ...

Demystifying fungal systematics: A gateway to fungal literacy and societal/ecological relevance through familiar species

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 2, Page 499-515, March 2026.
Fungal systematics can feel overwhelming given the vast species diversity within this kingdom, with numerous subgroups at every taxonomic rank. This often creates a disconnect between the undertsnidng of fungal taxonomic diversity and their societal relevance.

Diversity and Distribution of Soil Fungi in Neotropical Mexican Forests

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 2, March 2026.
Soil fungal diversity across the Mexican Neotropics remains poorly characterized despite its ecological importance. Using the Global Soil Mycobiome dataset from 55 sites, we identified eight distinct fungal community groups structured primarily by vegetation type and climatic gradients.

Beauveria Bassiana Triggers Soybean Systemic Resistance and Causes Sublethal Effects in Spodoptera frugiperda

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 3, Page 236-250, March 2026.
The interaction of soybean plant and the endophytic microorganism Beauveria bassiana was evaluated by inoculating a single trifoliate leaf. The effects of this inoculation on the herbivory, larval development, and life traits of Spodoptera frugiperda were measured.

High diversity of Trichonectria (Hypocreales) inhabiting Usnea in Bolivia

Plant and Fungal Systematics
The Neotropics, particularly mountain cloud forests, are characterized by a high diversity of microfungi that inhabit lichens. However, based on our field studies, many of these microfungi remain undescribed, and their phylogenetic relationships are poorly understood. This study focuses on Bolivian lichenicolous Trichonectria inhabiting the genus Usnea
