Plant-Environment Interactions, Volume 6, Issue 4, August 2025.ABSTRACT Wheat is a major staple crop in Pakistan but faces significant threats from biotic stressors such as powdery mildew (Blumeria graminis) and stripe rust (Puccinia striiformis). These fungal diseases can drastically reduce wheat yields, leading to substantial economic losses.

What you eat is what we need: using ants to detect spotted lanternfly (Lycorma delicatula) DNA
Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 8, Page 4571-4578, August 2025.The workflow of the ‘antDNA’ method. Ants actively forage on honeydew produced by sap‐sucking insects such as the spotted lanternfly (SLF) and can retain it in their crops, serving as effective ‘honeydew samplers’. Combined with a simple endpoint polymerase chain reaction (PCR)‐based molecular assay, the ant‐derived DNA (antDNA) method provides an ...

Influence of bait and habitat on site visitation by wild pigs (Sus scrofa)
Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 8, Page 4667-4676, August 2025.Bait, a food item, is important for attracting wild pigs to a site for management and considering habitat, including distance to water and understory, increases likelihood of wild pig visitation. Abstract BACKGROUND Wild pigs (Sus scrofa), known for their impacts on ecosystems in both their native and invasive ranges, are commonly managed using lethal ...

Improving Whole Biodiversity Monitoring and Discovery With Environmental DNA Metagenomics
Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 25, Issue 6, August 2025.ABSTRACT Environmental DNA (eDNA) metagenomics sequences all DNA molecules present in environmental samples and has the potential of identifying virtually any organism from which they are derived. However, due to unacceptable levels of false positives and negatives, this approach is underexplored as a tool for biodiversity monitoring across the tree of

Functional Profiles of Phyllosphere and Rhizosphere Metagenomes Differ Across Milkweed Species
Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 17, Issue 4, August 2025.We characterised milkweed microbiomes using a metagenomics approach to investigate the functional potential of endophytic phyllosphere and rhizosphere communities. We found evidence that the composition of potential PSM genes varied across milkweeds in spp. specific responses, for both phyllospheres and rhizospheres, and in response to monarch feeding.

When Two Species Meet: A Potential Beetle‐Yeast Facultative Mutualism
Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 17, Issue 4, August 2025.A Cyberlidnera yeast was discovered within galleries formed by Spermophthorus apuleiae beetles in the fruits of Ironwood trees. We hypothesise this association is a non‐obligate mutualism. Non‐obligatory as partners are not always found together, and mutualistic, as the beetles increase the yeast's density in the fruits, while the yeast produces ...

Contact Urticaria and Related Conditions: Clinical Review
Contact Dermatitis, Volume 93, Issue 2, Page 87-107, August 2025.ABSTRACT Contact urticaria (CoU) is an immediate contact reaction occurring within minutes to an hour after exposure to specific proteins or chemicals. CoU is categorised into non‐immunologic (NI‐CoU) and immunologic (I‐CoU) types, with I‐CoU potentially leading to anaphylaxis. Both forms of CoU can be associated with protein contact dermatitis and the

Tracking individual Bactrocera tryoni: Wind effects and natural movement
Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 173, Issue 8, Page 854-868, August 2025.Modeling insect movement relies on accurate characterizations of natural step distances, turning angles, and speed. Harmonic radar was used to observe male Queensland fruit fly (Qfly), Bactrocera tryoni (Diptera: Tephritidae), movements (natural and disturbance‐induced) in papaya (Carica papaya, Caricaceae).
