Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 5, Page 1151-1164, May 2026.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Plant phenology is crucial for understanding plant growth and climate feedback. It affects canopy structure, surface albedo, and carbon and water fluxes. While the influence of environmental factors on phenology is well‐documented, the role of plant intrinsic factors ...

Plant Pathology, Volume 75, Issue 3, May–June 2026.The work helped clarify the complex aetiology of common fig decline in Italy as the result of a simultaneous attack by canopy pathogens (Ascomycetes, family Botryosphaeriaceae) and root pathogens (oomycetes of the genus Phytophthora) and led to the discovery of several new host–pathogen associations and a new Phytophthora species.

Commodity risk assessment of oak and walnut logs from the US
EFSA Journal, Volume 24, Issue 1, January 2026.Abstract The European Commission submitted to the EFSA Panel on Plant Health a Dossier from the United States proposing the use of a vacuum–steam–heat treatment as a stand‐alone phytosanitary measure to mitigate the risk of entry of Bretziella fagacearum, Geosmithia morbida and its vector Pityophthorus juglandis (thousand cankers disease complex) into ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.This study investigates the long‐term effects of elephant debarking on riverine woodland vegetation in northern Kenya, comparing data from 2007 and 2023. Findings reveal a decline in woody plant density and reduced tree recovery, especially in the presence of termites and stem decay. These results highlight the compounded ecological impact of elephants

Re‐make, re‐model: evolution and development of vertebrate cranial lateral lines
Biological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 6, Page 2237-2256, December 2025.ABSTRACT Lateral lines are placodally derived mechanosensory systems on the heads and trunks of many aquatic vertebrates. There is evidence of lateral lines in the earliest known vertebrate fossils, and they exist in organisms with widely different craniofacial morphologies – including the presence or absence of jaws, external or internal nostrils, and

Cossid moths (Lepidoptera: Cossidae) as pests of woody plants – A review
Agricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 27, Issue 4, Page 512-531, November 2025.Abstract The Cossidae is a worldwide family of macro‐moths popularly known as carpenter moths due to the larval habit of boring in the wood of living plants. This review compiles current knowledge on the characteristics, diversity and bionomy of cossid moths as well as the damage they cause on woody plants.

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 6, Issue 4, October–December 2025.Conservation translocations of the Bahamian hutia, a threatened Caribbean rodent, have prompted concerns about vegetation damage. Extensive vegetation damage reported on John Higgs Cay (Turks and Caicos Islands), along with the presence of abundant large faecal pellets and local traditions of large‐bodied rodents called ‘hootees’, was suggestive of ...

Toward a functional understanding of novel fire regimes in tropical forests
American Journal of Botany, Volume 112, Issue 10, October 2025.Abstract Climate change and land‐use alterations are driving forest fires to unprecedented frequencies and intensities worldwide. Even wet tropical forests—historically rarely subjected to fire—are increasingly experiencing fire disturbances. The impact of wildfires on these forests is likely large, since many of their tree species are not adapted to ...

Forest Pathology, Volume 55, Issue 5, October 2025.ABSTRACT Larch (Larix) and, to a lesser extent, rhododendron (Rhododendron ponticum) have emerged as key drivers of the Phytophthora ramorum epidemic in Britain because of the copious numbers of sporangia that are released from their foliage following infection; the inoculum then initiates stem and foliar infections on nearby broadleaf and conifer ...

Exogenous sugar addition can exacerbate root carbon limitation in trees
New Phytologist, Volume 247, Issue 2, Page 577-594, July 2025.Summary In most tree species, roots serve as major carbon (C) sinks, where C is depleted first when C assimilation is limited. Recent methodological advancements in sugar infusion allow for a better understanding of physiological processes alleviating root C limitation.
