Efficacy of Heterorhabditis bacteriophora Against Diapausing Larvae of the Truffle Beetle, Leiodes cinnamomeus

open access: yesJournal of Applied Entomology, Volume 149, Issue 7, Page 1105-1108, August 2025.
ABSTRACT The truffle beetle, Leiodes cinnamomeus, is the most important pest in black truffle (Tuber melanosporum) plantations. Adults and mycophagous larvae are active during autumn and winter, while diapausing larvae are not. Previous laboratory studies demonstrated the high virulence of the entomopathogenic nematode (EPN) Heterorhabditis ...

Home range size, habitat selection, and mycophagy of sympatric North American flying squirrels

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2025.
Abstract The northern flying squirrel (Glaucomys sabrinus) is a mycophagous specialist (i.e., having a fungi‐dominated diet) which might be displaced following northward range expansion by the congeneric southern flying squirrel (Glaucomys volans). Loss of the northern flying squirrel could, in turn, limit fungi spore dispersal in forest communities ...

Quantifying the Dietary Overlap of Two Co‐Occurring Mammal Species Using DNA Metabarcoding to Assess Potential Competition

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 4, April 2025.
Interspecific competition among co‐occurring species with similar resource requirements can be assessed by measuring diet overlap. A study on common brushtail possums and bush rats used DNA metabarcoding of faecal samples to quantify their dietary overlap, finding a significant similarity.

Physiological aspects of Corylus avellana associated with the French black truffle fungus Tuber melanosporum and the consequence for commercial production of black truffles in Western Australia

open access: yes, 2005
The black truffle (Tuber melanosporum Vitt.) industry in Australia is relatively new and has enormous potential but some truffieres (truffle farms) fail to meet anticipated harvest projections.

Extraction, Purification, Characterization, Applications of Chitosan, Plant Gum Polysaccharides, and Other Polysaccharides: A Review

open access: yesScientifica, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Polysaccharides from plant gum, chitosan from animal origin, and other polysaccharides are biologically active, nontoxic, biodegradable, and biocompatible with a wider range of clinical and general applications. The properties of these biological‐derived polysaccharides play a major role in their application.

Habitat parameters influencing the distribution of a geographically isolated flying squirrel

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, Volume 6, Issue 6, June 2024.
The southern extent of Humboldt's Flying Squirrel (Glaucomys oregonensis) exists in the San Bernardino and San Jacinto mountains of southern California, USA. These two populations are isolated from the continuous northern range by 245 kilometers of Mojave Desert.

Proposal of mycorrhization of forest tree seedlings using summer truffle [Tuber aestivum] in Poland

open access: yes, 2009
Truffles belong to the hypogeous fungi living in ectomycorrhizal symbiosis with many forest tree and shrub species. Some truffle species such as black truffle (Tuber melanosporum Vittad.) or summer truffle (Tuber aestivum Vittad.) are valuated for their ...

Truffle-like fungi sporocarps in a eucalypt-dominated landscape: patterns in diversity and community structure

open access: yes, 2013
Truffle-like fungi are highly diverse yet poorly known in Australia. To assess the species richness, biomass, and community assemblages of truffle-like fungi in different habitats we sampled sporocarps of truffle-like fungi in three eucalypt-dominated ...

Volatile profile characterization of truffle oils and natural aroma products by HS-SPME-GC-MS

open access: yes, 2015
Truffles (Tuber spp.) are part of the ascomycota phylum of the fungi kingdom and are found underground, growing as symbionts with specific trees by forming ectomycorrhizae [1].
