A Detection Method of Pine Wilt Disease Based on Improved YOLOv11 With UAV Remote Sensing Images

Ecology and Evolution
Pine wilt disease (PWD), also known as pine wilt nematode disease, is a severe forest disease caused by the pine wood nematode (Bursaphelenchus xylophilus), which spreads rapidly and causes severe ecological damage in China.

Biological Pesticides as Viable Alternative to Synthetic Pesticides for Sustainable Agriculture and Nutrition: A Systematic Review

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The overuse of synthetic pesticides in agriculture has raised significant environmental and health concerns. Biopesticides have emerged as viable, environmentally compatible alternatives. However, recent comprehensive reviews integrating all biopesticide categories and emphasizing their contribution to synthetic‐pesticide‐free and health‐safe ...

Shaping future forests: how can ecophysiology support climate‐smart forest management?

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 5, Page 2778-2813, June 2026.
Summary Climate change, particularly the associated increase in extreme events and disturbances, threatens the numerous environmental, social, and economic benefits that forests provide, both locally and globally. Heat and drought pose significant risks to forest ecosystems; the anticipated future climate is expected to exacerbate this trend ...

A conceptual model for the diapause intensity curve and termination in overwintering Japanese pine sawyer larvae, Monochamus alternatus (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae)

Physiological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 2, Page 226-236, June 2026.
Larval diapause intensity of Monochamus alternatus follows a declining curve, beginning with an initial refractory phase and reaching termination after approximately 110 days of chilling at 9°C. Residual inhibitory state strongly influenced post‐chilling development; additional chilling shortened the diapause period more at 18°C than at warmer ...

Transcription Factor and Protein Regulatory Network of PmACRE1 in Pinus massoniana Response to Pine Wilt Nematode Infection

Plants
Pine wilt disease, caused by Bursaphelenchus xylophilus, is a highly destructive and contagious forest affliction. Often termed the “cancer” of pine trees, it severely impacts the growth of Masson pine (Pinus massoniana).

Effect of family, crown position, number of winter buds, fresh weight and the length of needle on rooting ability of Pinus thunbergii Parl. cuttings

iForest - Biogeosciences and Forestry, 2016
As a measure for contrasting pine wilt disease, which caused serious damage in Japanese black pine (Pinus thunbergii Parl.) by the pine wood nematode (Bursaphelenchus xylophilus (Steiner et Buhrer) Nickle), resistant trees have been widely planted in ...
