Climate-related drivers of migratory bird health in the south-central USA. [PDF]
Biol Rev Camb Philos SocABSTRACT Migratory birds are species of concern that play important ecological roles while also supporting recreational opportunities for the hunting and birdwatching public. Direct and indirect effects of climate variability, extremes, and change on migratory bird health manifest at the individual, population, species, and community levels.

Catalytic Hydropyrolysis of Beetle Killed Trees for the Production of Transportation Biofuels
GCB Bioenergy, Volume 18, Issue 8, August 2026.Catalytic hydropyrolysis of beetle‐killed pine, ash, and redbay demonstrated that temperature, catalyst loading, and catalyst acidity strongly influence hydrocarbon yields, while response surface methodology (RSM) identified optimal operating conditions for maximizing overall product yield.

Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 5, May 2026.Spatial synchrony of population fluctuations has major consequences for the impacts of forest insect pest outbreaks at regional scales. We tested the predictions that the strength and drivers of this synchrony would differ among species according to their dispersal abilities and feeding guilds.

Automatic traps foster the monitoring and prediction of bark beetle swarming
Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 4, April 2026.Automated trap data help bark beetle management to act more timely and targeted, thereby facilitating an effective mitigation of outbreaks. Moreover, the immediate data transmission makes regular manual trap collections unnecessary. While swarming models cannot quantify absolute trap catches without site‐ and trap‐specific calibration, they provide ...

Commodity risk assessment of oak and walnut logs from the US
EFSA Journal, Volume 24, Issue 1, January 2026.Abstract The European Commission submitted to the EFSA Panel on Plant Health a Dossier from the United States proposing the use of a vacuum–steam–heat treatment as a stand‐alone phytosanitary measure to mitigate the risk of entry of Bretziella fagacearum, Geosmithia morbida and its vector Pityophthorus juglandis (thousand cankers disease complex) into ...

Patterns and drivers of biotic disturbance hotspots in western United States coniferous forests
Ecography, Volume 2025, Issue 9, September 2025.Globally, forest disturbances caused by herbivorous insects and plant pathogens (i.e. biotic disturbances) have increased since the 1990s, a trend linked in part to climate warming. With increases in biotic disturbance activity, an emerging ecological phenomenon has been documented: biotic disturbance ‘hotspots', or areas where two or more biotic ...
