Cross‐continental variation of herbivore resistance in a global plant invader
While successful plant invasions often occur in novel environments, invasive species usually occupy broad niches within their native and introduced ranges. A better understanding of the process of invasion therefore requires a wide sampling of ranges, and a good knowledge of introduction history.

Analyses of the 16S rRNA amplicons of several ladybirds and their aphid prey from various locations in Guangxi, China reveal the plasticity of microbial abundance in aphidophagous ladybirds across different ladybird species and locations. Additionally, aphid symbionts are sporadically detected in the corresponding predator ladybirds, indicating their ...

Commodity risk assessment of Betula pendula and Betula pubescens plants from the UK
Abstract The European Commission requested the EFSA Panel on Plant Health to prepare and deliver risk assessments for commodities listed in Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2018/2019 as ‘High risk plants, plant products and other objects’. This Scientific Opinion covers plant health risks posed by plants of Betula pendula and B.

For the first time, high‐throughput molecular gut content analysis was used to characterize host use patterns of aphid vector species of potato virus Y (PVY). DNA was extracted from individual aphid vectors, PCRs were run using trnF and ITS2 primers, PCR products were sequenced using the Pacific Biosciences platform, and sequences were blasted on NCBI ...
