Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 8, Page 908-921, August 2026.In this study, we investigated the effects of blueberry domestication on the oviposition behavior and performance of Ganaspis kimorum, a parasitoid of Drosophila suzukii. Domestication of blueberries reduced the oviposition‐searching behavior of the parasitoid but enhanced parasitoid performance, including offspring performance. Additionally, blueberry

Patterns and Drivers of Pine Processionary Moth Defoliation in Mediterranean Mountain Forests
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2019 Insect defoliations are one of the threats of forests health, and climate warming may enhance the occurrence of more severe outbreaks. Thus, understanding the spatial and temporal patterns of insect defoliation may provide valuable information to infer ...

Ecological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 4, Page 810-826, August 2026.We assessed alpha‐ and beta‐diversity patterns of spiders across different forests and across vegetation layers (ground, shrub, low canopy) at local spatial scales across various Mediterranean forest types. Across forests, alpha‐diversity increased with habitat heterogeneity, which also drove beta‐diversity patterns across plots .

Temporal Dynamics of Sporulation of Lecanosticta acicola in Detached Pinus taeda Needles
Forest Pathology, Volume 56, Issue 4, August 2026.ABSTRACT The timber industry in the southeastern United States relies heavily on Pinus taeda. Over the past decade, impacts from Lecanosticta acicola causing Brown Spot Needle Blight have been increasing on P. taeda. Disease spread is well documented for living needles, with conidia spreading locally and ascospores spreading long distances.

Cross-species amplification of nuclear EST-microsatellites developed for other Pinus species in Pinus nigra [PDF]
Genetika, 2015 Due to the current lack of nuclear microsatellites (simple sequence repeats - SSRs) specifically developed for Pinus nigra, an important European coniferous species, we cross-species amplified 12 EST-SSRs (expressed sequence tagged SSRs) developed for other Pinus species in P. nigra in order to delineate loci which can be used for assessing

Forest Pathology, Volume 56, Issue 4, August 2026.ABSTRACT Wood‐inhabiting nematodes of the genus Bursaphelenchus are a group with significant ecological and economic impacts on global forest ecosystems. This review aims to update current knowledge on their spatial distribution, host‐vector associations and the factors driving species expansion under the framework of climate change.

Temperate tree species show cross‐tolerance to heat, drought, and late spring‐frost stress
New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 4, Page 1625-1630, August 2026.Significant cross‐tolerance of leaf traits to heat, drought and late spring‐frost were found. (a) Turgor loss point vs lethal spring‐frost temperature. (b) Heat thermal threshold temperature vs lethal spring‐frost temperature. (c) Heat thermal threshold temperature vs turgor loss point.

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, Volume 21, Issue 4, July/August 2026.ABSTRACT Excessive water production in mature oil fields necessitates robust shut‐off treatments, yet conventional polymer gels often fail under high‐temperature and high‐salinity conditions. This study aims to enhance gel thermal stability and mechanical strength by incorporating selenium‐doped Ag/AgO–ZnO nanocomposites synthesized via a novel green ...
