Forest cover and composition on the Loess Plateau during the Middle to Late-Holocene: Integrating wood charcoal analyses

, 2021
The question of what the ecology communities of the Loess Plateau looked like before the extensive anthropogenic reshaping processes of the late-Holocene has stirred a long debate.

Chromosome‐Scale Haplotype Genome Assemblies for the Australian Mango ‘Kensington Pride’ and a Wild Relative, Mangifera laurina, Provide Insights Into Anthracnose‐Resistance and Volatile Compound Biosynthesis Genes

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 5, Page 3172-3188, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Mango (Mangifera indica) is one of the most popular fruits cultivated in tropical and subtropical regions of the world. The availability of reference genomes helps to identify the genetic basis of important traits. Here, we report assembled high‐quality chromosome‐level genomes for the Australian mango cultivar ‘Kensington Pride’ and M ...

Performance of Fall Armyworm Spodoptera frugiperda Reared on Various Horticultural Crops

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 174, Issue 4, Page 309-320, April 2026.
The developmental performance and reproductive success of the Australian population of fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda) were evaluated on five horticultural crops under laboratory conditions. Sweetcorn and bean supported rapid development, lower mortality, and higher fecundity (good performance); whereas capsicum, strawberry, and okra resulted in ...

Not everyone is shrinking: increases in body mass and wing length in a Sand Martin (Riparia riparia) population in northwestern Italy over two decades

Ibis, Volume 168, Issue 2, Page 674-686, April 2026.
In recent decades, vertebrates, particularly birds, have exhibited notable morphological changes in response to climate change. In birds, these temporal trends usually entail a decrease in body mass and an increase in wing length, sometimes interpreted as a compensatory strategy to maintain migration.

Genotypic Differentiation in Temperature Requirements for Stratification in Subtropical Peach Seeds [PDF]

HortScience, 1997
The variability of species under local ecosystems, particularly in response to temperatures during endodormancy, permits adaptation of temperate fruit trees to subtropical climates. Information about the behavior of endodormant fruit trees and seeds is based on a narrow genetic base from higher latitudes. This work was conducted to

Assessment of the Contribution of Agricultural Production Within Highly Urbanized Municipalities to Food Security in Guangdong, China

Food and Energy Security, Volume 15, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
ABSTRACT Against rapid urbanization in China, food security challenges including shrinking arable land and weak agri‐food supply chain resilience have become increasingly prominent, which elevates the strategic value of peri‐urban agriculture in localizing supply chains and safeguarding urban food security.

Harnessing genomic resources for passion fruit improvement: Progress and prospects

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract Passion fruit (Passiflora edulis) is a highly nutritious horticultural crop cultivated widely across tropical and subtropical regions. Despite decades of breeding efforts that have led to the release of a few high‐yielding cultivars, on‐farm productivity remains suboptimal, and several existing cultivars are showing signs of declining vigor ...

Coevolution and Functional Effects of Endosymbiotic Rickettsia in Leptocybe invasa Fisher & LaSalle (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae) Across China

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
Two distinct lineages of L. invasa and the dominant endosymbiont, Rickettsia, was identified, followed by an analysis of its infection density across various developmental stages and tissues of L. invasa. Furthermore, two distinct strains of the Rickettsia endosymbiont were detected, and the phylogenetic relationships between these strains and their L.

Current and future global distribution of the peach twig borer, Anarsia lineatella Zeller (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae)

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 28, Issue 1, Page 94-107, February 2026.
Biological invasions and climate change drive species redistribution, threatening biodiversity, agriculture, and public health. Species distribution modelling (Maxent algorithm) predicted Anarsia lineatella current and future global range, identifying risk areas in Africa, Asia, Australia, and the Americas under changing climate conditions.
