Drivers of wood‐inhabiting fungal diversity in European and Oriental beech forests [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionThe hyperdiverse wood‐inhabiting fungi play a crucial role in the global carbon cycle, but often are threatened by deadwood removal, particularly in temperate forests dominated by European beech (Fagus sylvatica) and Oriental beech (Fagus orientalis). To

Provenance Variation in Functional Traits of European Forest Trees: Meta-Analysis Reveals Effects of Taxa and Age Despite Critical Research Gaps. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThis meta‐analysis on intraspecific variation in European trees studied the frequency of provenance variation, provenance–environment interaction, clinal variation along the climate of origin or transfer distance. While identifying trait group specific patterns of variation, research gaps have been identified in terms of age and geographical ...

Biodiversity, Phylogeny, and Evolutionary Dynamics of Gall Midges on Japanese Beech Trees. [PDF]
Ecol EvolLeaf galls of 29 types were collected from Japanese endemic beech trees (Fagus L.). Most of the gall inducers formed a monophyletic clade within the tribe Dasineurini. The Fagus‐feeding gall midges underwent adaptive radiation since the Miocene, accompanied by multiple host shifts between F. crenata and F. japonica.

Wild Japanese Marten, <i>Martes melampus melampus</i> (Carnivora: Mustelidae), Is a New Host for Zoonotic <i>Thelazia callipaeda</i> Eyeworm. [PDF]
Ecol EvolWild Japanese martens serve as a natural host for Thelazia callipaeda, contributing to its transmission in the sylvatic cycle. ABSTRACT Thelazia callipaeda is a spirurid nematode that parasitizes the eyes of mammals, including carnivores, lagomorphs, and humans.
