Urbanization Effects on the Community Structure of Saproxylic Arthropods in Warm‐Temperate Japan
Ecological Research, Volume 41, Issue 5, September 2026.This study examined saproxylic arthropod communities in various landscapes, ranging from large to fragmented urban forests, and compared the structure and composition of these communities. The results showed that communities could be classified into three types based on species composition and that arthropod community types were correlated with forest ...

Phytopathologia Mediterranea, 2022 Wood colonizing fungi are specialists that exploit the lignocellulose of cell wall components in host wood cylinders as a carbon sources. Some of these specialized fungi, including Fomitiporia mediterranea (Fmed) and Phaeomoniella chlamydospora (Pch ...

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 ...

Fly me to the canopy: Diptera communities in oak forest crowns as bioindicators of stand decline
Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 19, Issue 5, Page 1099-1113, September 2026.Diptera diversity: Oak decline increases the overall Diptera diversity, particularly in saproxylic and floricolous guilds, likely due to more open canopies and greater deadwood and floral resource availability. Family responses: Dolichopodidae, Empididae, Hybotidae and Anthomyiidae thrive in declining stands, whereas Mycetophilidae and other fungus ...

Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 9, September 2026.EC19, a secreted ribonuclease T1 effector from Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici (Fol), is required for tomato wilt virulence. EC19‐overexpressing tomato lines display increased susceptibility to Fol and altered transcriptional changes associated with plant hormone signal transduction, plant–pathogen interaction, and phenylpropanoid biosynthesis ...

Exploring the Quality of Historic DNA From Pinned Beetles
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.Dry‐preserved museum specimens offer valuable but degraded DNA for genomic studies, making extraction method choice crucial. We found that an oligo‐focused silica‐column protocol yielded higher‐quality short DNA fragments than standard silica or precipitation methods, and that specimen age mainly reduced fragment length and locus recovery, while DNA ...

Plant‐Derived Nanoparticles (PDNPs) in Food Safety and Preservation: Pros and Cons
eFood, Volume 7, Issue 4, August 2026.Plant‐derived nanoparticles (PDNPs) synthesized via green methods demonstrate antimicrobial, antioxidant, barrier, eco‐friendly, and cost‐effective properties, while facing challenges in large‐scale production, synthesis standardization, and absence of specific food safety regulations. ABSTRACT Ensuring food safety and extending shelf life across fresh
