From beginning to end: the synecology of tree‐killing bark beetles, fungi, and trees

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 1, Page 314-335, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Over a century of research has revealed an amazing complexity of behaviours and physiological adaptations that allow tiny bark beetles to overcome large trees, sometimes resulting in outbreaks that kill millions of trees. Turning a tree into a home and successfully raising offspring involves constant interactions among the beetles, the tree ...

Susceptibility of a cyst and a root-knot nematode to three nematode-trapping fungi [PDF]

open access: yes, 1998
Il est démontré que deux champignons prédateurs de nématodes, #Arthrobotrys haptotyla$ et #A. thaumasi$, ont préférentiellement piégé et colonisé #Meloidogyne javanica$ plutôt que #Heterodera schachtii$ tant dans des pots contenant un limon argileux que ...

FGB1 and WSC3 are in planta-induced beta-glucan-binding fungal lectins with different functions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
In the root endophyte Serendipita indica, several lectin-like members of the expanded multigene family of WSC proteins are transcriptionally induced in planta and are potentially involved in beta-glucan remodeling at the fungal cell wall.

Environmental DNA (eDNA) Technology in Biodiversity and Ecosystem Health Research: Advances and Prospects

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
This review synthesizes over 15 years of advancements in eDNA technology by systematizing standardized guidelines for sampling, extraction, and bioinformatics, thereby enhancing the reproducibility of eDNA‐based research. It highlights eDNA's transformative role in noninvasively detecting rare, endangered, and invasive species, as well as its value in ...

RNAi‐mediated gene silencing of a 26S proteasome subunit increases mortality of the Japanese beetle Popillia japonica

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 1, Page 1066-1078, January 2026.
We propose the regulatory particle non‐ATPase subunit 6 of the 26S proteasome as a first good promising RNA interference target candidate to control the Japanese beetle Popillia japonica. This will help to optimize a double‐stranded RNA insecticide against this priority pest with low off‐target effects on pollinators on a gene sequence‐based prediction.

Has the Striga problem been solved? A field perspective critique of recent progress

open access: yesPest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 1, Page 54-59, January 2026.
The potential field efficacy of recently proposed breeding, biocontrol, suicidal germination, gene editing and transgenic solutions for Striga control is critically evaluated and mostly found wanting improvements. Abstract Three root‐parasitic witchweed (Striga) species can cause up to total loss of grain and legume crops for millions of farmers in ...
