Resist!: Sustaining forest carbon sequestration and wood production after insect disturbance
Disturbances from insect pests threaten ecologically and economically important goods and services supplied by forests, including wood production and carbon sequestration. We highlight the factors that influence these services’ resistance, a term quantifying the initial response to disturbance.

Is Lycorma delicatula (Hemiptera: Fulgoridae) a blooming threat to citrus? [PDF]
Examining the host range of emerging invasive insects is essential to assess their invasion potential and to anticipate the negative impacts of their spread. The ongoing North American invasion of spotted lanternfly (SLF) [Lycorma delicatula (White, 1845)

Hooks for Four‐Dimensional Ecology Education (4DEE) teaching with differing audiences of nonmajors
Abstract Nonmajors (i.e., undergraduate students not majoring in the natural sciences) constitute a majority of United States college graduates and are a large potential audience for courses with ecology content. However, nonmajors may be unmotivated to learn about ecology because they perceive it to be uninteresting and irrelevant to their everyday ...

THE EFFECTS OF THE SPOTTED LANTERNFLY ON ANT AND LAND SLUG POPULATIONS IN EASTERN PENNSYLVANIA [PDF]
Invasive species pose a significant threat to ecosystems. The spotted lanternfly (Lycorma delicatula), an invasive species in the northeastern USA, consumes plant phloem and produces sugary honeydew, which in turn is often covered by sooty mold. Honeydew

Defeating lethal cancer: Interrupting the ecologic and evolutionary basis of death from malignancy
Abstract Despite the advances in cancer prevention, early detection, and treatments, all of which have led to improved cancer survival, globally, there is an increased incidence in cancer‐related deaths. Although each patient and each tumor is wholly unique, the tipping point to incurable disease is common across all patients: the dual capacity for ...

Lost in translation: The need for updated messaging strategies in invasion biology communication
As with any complex environmental challenge, information about the “invasive species problem” must be communicated effectively to generate widespread public trust, understanding, and engagement in solutions. However, there is growing recognition that conventional messaging strategies can be ineffective or even detrimental at activating the broader ...
