Culicoides species involved in the BTV‐3 epidemic, the Netherlands, 2023–2024

open access: yesMedical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
A high amount of Culicoides‐midges were captured using Onderstepoort light traps on farms with animals infected with bluetongue serotype 3 (BTV‐3) at the beginning of the outbreak in 2023. Species, sex and parity of the captured Culicoides‐midges were morphologically determined and gravid and parous Culicoides‐midges have been selected and pooled for ...

Shrubs and trees as natural insect protection for grazing animals in Switzerland and the alpine region: A systematic review of in vitro, in vivo and clinical trials Sträucher und Bäume als natürlicher Insektenschutz für Weidetiere in der Schweiz und im Alpenraum: Eine systematische Literaturübersicht über in vitro‐, in vivo‐ und klinische Studien

open access: yesMedical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
Biting or irritating insects are a threat to the health and welfare of grazing animals. This systematic review reveals that several shrubs and bushes growing in the alpine area have insecticidal, insect‐repellent and/or attractant properties. The alder Alnus glutinosa, juniper Juniperus communis, spruce Picea abies and walnut Juglans regia are ...

De‐Coupled Water and Nitrogen Translocation From Subsoil to Canopy of Temperate Forest Trees

open access: yesPlant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Water and nitrogen (N) transport from soil to canopy play a central role in tree functioning, yet direct evidence for their timing and coupling in mature forests remains scarce. We report results from a paired dual‐isotope (2H, 15N) tracer experiment in a temperate forest, comparing water and nitrate uptake patterns across tree species ...

Drought legacy in mature spruce alleviates physiological stress during recurrent drought

open access: yesPlant Biology, EarlyView.
The slow recovery of leaf area in mature spruce following a long‐term drought alleviated physiological stress during recurrent drought. Abstract Forest ecosystems are facing severe and prolonged droughts with delayed recovery, known as “drought legacy”.

Root water uptake depth in temperate forest trees: species‐specific patterns shaped by neighbourhood and environment

open access: yesPlant Biology, EarlyView.
Root water uptake strategies vary among temperate tree species (European beech, Douglas fir, and Norway spruce), with beech–conifer mixtures altering water uptake depths, while site conditions and temporal dynamics further shape the contribution of different soil depths to water supply.

Shifting in the shadows: Morphofunctional variations of Miconia sellowiana Naudin (Melastomataceae) associated with cave environments

open access: yesPlant Biology, EarlyView.
Cave environments filter plant traits, selecting thinner, smaller leaves with reduced photosynthetic and vascular structures. Abstract Caves present unique ecological conditions that influence the distribution and adaptation of species, yet studies on cave‐associated vegetation remain limited.

Biodiversity and its restoration in limestone quarries: a review

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Limestone quarries impact natural areas, and they are spreading in relation to human population growth. Little is known about the impact of limestone quarries and their restoration on biodiversity. Objectives This review aims to provide an overview of how biodiversity is assessed in limestone quarries, how it impacts biodiversity,
