Ecosystem Services Against Illegal Immigration: The Natural Control of the Migratory Butterfly Painted Lady (Vanessa cardui) by Cotesia vestalis (Hymenoptera, Braconidae) on Organic Soybean in Ukraine

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
In central Ukraine, the migratory butterfly Vanessa cardui emerged as a key pest of organic soybean during its outbreaks in 2019 and 2022. Despite early defoliation, crops recovered strongly due to high parasitism by Cotesia vestalis, reaching 100% in some fields.

Harnessing the benefits of herbarium specimen digitisation for inferring recent and ongoing plant extinctions

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Evidence for the ongoing biodiversity crisis rests on assessment of a small fraction of described species, with major knowledge gaps for most organisms, including plants. Here, we highlight how digitised herbarium specimens can be used to accelerate and improve estimates of recent and ongoing plant extinctions.

Effects of Meloidogyne incognita on agronomic parameters and structural changes in eggplant (Solanum gilo Raddi) roots treated with Purpureocillium lilacinum

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Meloidogyne incognita impairs eggplant growth through gall formation with changes in root cell wall components and vascular tissue disruption, while the biocontrol agent Purpureocillium lilacinum mitigates these effects by reducing nematode infection. Abstract Meloidogyne spp. induce structural changes during the development of root‐knot galls, leading

Early eco‐physiological responses in a direct seeding experiment: a non‐destructive approach reveals contrasted strategies in tropical tree species

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Conservation physiology is a valuable tool for addressing the major challenges of tropical restoration programs. One key issue is the need for non‐destructive methods to study the functional responses of highly threatened species in order to minimize impacts on natural populations.
