Range Expansion of a Verticillium nonalfalfae Isolate Suppresses Ailanthus altissima With Variable Results Along Environmental Gradients

open access: yesForest Pathology, Volume 55, Issue 2, April 2025.
ABSTRACT Verticillium nonalfalfae has been studied for > 20 years as a potential fungal bioherbicide for Ailanthus altissima. A specific isolate from Pennsylvania, VnAa140, has desirable virulence properties and demonstrated host specificity. However, it has yet to be tested outside Pennsylvania, and the potential for regional variation in the host ...

Roadside Surveys as a Method for Nonlethal Insect Monitoring

open access: yesPsyche: A Journal of Entomology, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Insects are a megadiverse group of organisms, which makes them difficult to survey without large, lethal collections. At the same time, we have increasing concerns about declines in insect biomass and diversity, which could have serious implications for ecosystem functioning. Current methods of insect monitoring are high in cost and labor and expertise
