Design of a Bacteriophage‐Based Product for Biocontrol of Fire Blight and Black Rot

Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 19, Issue 9, September 2026.
Phytopathogenic bacteria threaten crops, and while chemical pesticides are effective, they harm ecosystems. Bacteriophages like ɸEF1, ɸEF2 and ɸXF1 show promise as biocontrol agents. They remain stable at 4°C and 20°C under neutral conditions, with stability enhanced by additives like CaCO3, improving field effectiveness for ecological and sustainable ...

Alternative Food for Litter‐Inhabiting Predators Decreases Thrips Densities and Above‐Ground Plant Damage

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 9, Page 1126-1134, September 2026.
We studied predatory soil mites that control the thrips Frankliniella occidentalis. Thrips densities were significantly reduced by the predator Cosmolaelaps sabelisi. It presumably feeds on prepupae and pupae in the soil and on larvae aboveground.

Sibling species of the Cotesia inducta complex (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) sympatrically parasitising heterogeneous lycaenid larvae associated with ants

Entomological Science, Volume 29, Issue 3, September 2026.
Three sibling parasitoid wasps of the Cotesia inducta (Braconidae) complex attack ant‐associated lycaenid larvae in Japan. Species differ in host range, seasonal host use and feeding habitat. Differences in host‐feeding habitat may contribute to diversification within the Cotesia inducta complex. Abstract Approximately 75% of lycaenid butterfly species

Trait–Climate Relationships Are Comparable for Modern Pollen Assemblages and Extant Vegetation Plots

Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 35, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Reliable climate simulations require comparison with robust reconstructions of past climates, often based on fossil pollen assemblages. This is particularly critical in drylands, where climate models frequently diverge. Yet, traditional pollen‐based reconstructions often overlook the mechanistic links between climate and plant functioning,

Global Bioregionalisation of Invasive Angiosperms

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Understanding global patterns in plant invasions is critical for improving our understanding of plant biogeography and for informing conservation strategies. However, the bioregional structure of invasive angiosperms remains unresolved globally.

Systematic Identification and Functional Characterisation of Colletotrichum fructicola Effectors During Camellia oleifera Colonisation

Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 9, September 2026.
Five novel effectors were identified in Colletotrichum fructicola required for full virulence. They suppress host immunity, modulate antioxidant enzymes and reprogramme metabolism in Camellia oleifera, providing targets for anthracnose control. ABSTRACT Camellia oleifera is an important woody oil crop in southern China, but its production is severely ...

Species‐level controls of foliar methane and nitrous oxide fluxes: roles of traits and microbes in temperate trees

New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 6, Page 3221-3237, September 2026.
Species‐level variation in temperate tree foliar greenhouse gas exchange, showing consistent foliar CH4 uptake, N2O emission, stronger CH4 uptake in fall leaves, and contrasting methanotroph communities between the high‐CH4‐oxidizing species Tilia americana and the low‐CH4‐oxidizing species Prunus virginiana. Summary The contribution of tree foliage to
