Host tree preference and performance of the Eurasian spruce bark beetle (Ips typographus) on Scots pine

open access: yesPest Management Science, EarlyView.
Ips typographus showed lower reproductive output in an occasional host (Pinus sylvestris) under laboratory conditions, and did not prefer its main host (Picea abies) over P. sylvestris in two‐choice bioassays. Abstract BACKGROUND The Eurasian spruce bark beetle, Ips typographus, is one of the most serious pests of Norway spruce (NS, Picea abies), with ...

Comprehensive morphological and phylogenetic inferences of star-shaped fungus Astraeus ( Diplocystidiaceae ) from sal-dominant tropical and subtropical Pinus - Shorea forests in India: an integrative taxonomic analysis

open access: yesPlant and Fungal Systematics
Classifying fungus based on morphological traits is an effective strategy to distinguish between puffballs, earthballs, earthstars, and other gasteroid fungi, as well as for identifying sub-groups of closely related taxon.

Insights into phylogenetic relationships in Pinus inferred from a comparative analysis of complete chloroplast genomes

open access: yesBMC Genomics, 2023
Background Pinus is the largest genus of Pinaceae and the most primitive group of modern genera. Pines have become the focus of many molecular evolution studies because of their wide use and ecological significance.

Using phenology to improve invasive plant detection in fine‐scale hyperspectral drone‐based images

open access: yesRemote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Using drone‐based hyperspectral images of mixed temperate successional forests collected over a growing season, detection algorithms were produced for three invasive species of interest, which are not only invasive in Virginia but also much of the U.S.: Ailanthus altissima (tree of heaven), Elaeagnus umbellata (autumn olive), and Rhamnus davurica ...

Landscape factors influencing predation on capercaillie nests by two competing mesopredators: pine marten and red fox

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Predation by pine martens Martes martes and red foxes Vulpes vulpes is an important factor influencing the population dynamics of capercaillie Tetrao urogallus. However, there is a knowledge gap regarding the relative effects of these mesopredators on the reproductive success of capercaillie. To better understand how various landscape factors influence

Edges as ecological filters: Asymmetrical orientation‐specific arthropod activity across forest boundaries

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
Moderate retention forestry creates structurally sharp forest edges that act as ecological filters, shaping orientation‐specific activity of ground‐dwelling arthropods. Using drift‐fence pitfall traps, we show that activity aligned with ecotones is more frequent than activity across forest–clearcut boundaries, particularly among detritivores.

Are There Differences in the Reaction of the Light-Tolerant Subgenus Pinus spp. Biomass to Climate Change as Compared to Light-Intolerant Genus Picea spp.?

open access: yesPlants, 2020
Currently, the problem of the impact of climate change on the productivity of forest ecosystems and their carbon-depositing capacity is far from being solved.

Ribosomal RNA genes in the genusPinus.I.

open access: yesCaryologia, 1995
SUMMARYRibosomal gene structure in Pinus pinea, P. halepensis and P. nigra has been analyzed by means of Southern blot hybridization after DNA digestions with Eco RI, Bam HI and Sac I restriction enzymes. Phage cloning, plasmid subcloning and partial nucleotide sequencing of the Pinus pinea rDNA demonstrated that the intergenic spacer (IGS) and the ...

State‐and‐transition simulation models: How can we use them to assess ecosystem condition and support nature markets

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract The world is experiencing a biodiversity crisis. Steep declines in habitat quality and ecosystem services have resulted in interest in markets to help fund ecological restoration. One way that ecological restoration is assessed is through indicators of ecosystem condition, namely, a measurement of how different a landscape is from its ...

Somatic embryogenesis of scots pine: current status and perspective of application in forestry

open access: yesTransactions of the Karelian Research Centre of the Russian Academy of Sciences, 2019
In the review it is come up with information on the possibilities of breeding programs and the creation of seed orhards of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L) as one of the key species of forests in Eurasia, which has significant economic value.
