Host evolutionary relationships explain tree mortality caused by a generalist pest–pathogen complex

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 14, Issue 4, Page 1083-1094, April 2021., 2021
Abstract The phylogenetic signal of transmissibility (competence) and attack severity among hosts of generalist pests is poorly understood. In this study, we examined the phylogenetic effects on hosts differentially affected by an emergent generalist beetle–pathogen complex in California and South Africa. Host types (non‐competent, competent and killed‐

Strelitzia nicolaii Regel & Körn. (Strelitziaceae), a casual alien plant new to Northern Hemisphere

Webbia, 2021
The ongoing naturalization of the blue giant paradise bird tree, Strelitzia nicolaii, is here reported for the first time for NW Sicily (Italy). Native to SE Africa, this ornamental plant was locally introduced around mid XIX century. During last two decades the first cases of pollination and dispersal have been recorded, and within last 10 years ...

Competition influences tree growth, but not mortality, across environmental gradients in Amazonia and tropical Africa

Ecology, Volume 101, Issue 7, July 2020., 2020
Abstract Competition among trees is an important driver of community structure and dynamics in tropical forests. Neighboring trees may impact an individual tree’s growth rate and probability of mortality, but large‐scale geographic and environmental variation in these competitive effects has yet to be evaluated across the tropical forest biome.
