Plant Pathology, Volume 75, Issue 5, September‐October 2026.A single clonal lineage has driven Cape beech canker for nearly two decades. However, the fungus was also found in healthy trees, suggesting that this emerging disease may have a more complex origin than a simple pathogen introduction. ABSTRACT Immersiporthe knoxdaviesiana (Cryphonectriaceae) causes an aggressive canker disease on native Myrsine ...

Combined phylogenetic and geographic data can predict plant–pest interactions with high accuracy
New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 4, Page 2107-2123, August 2026.Schematic overview of the study pipeline. Summary Non‐native plant pests can pose major threats to biodiversity, with destructive ecological and economic consequences. The ability to predict future threats would allow limited resources to be concentrated on managing the most serious risks. We built a Bayesian model to predict hosts at risk from Agrilus,

Molecular identification of three species of Oncideres (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) using RAPD markers
Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências: Twig girdlers have a short adult life and a long larval stage (up to one year in some species). This fact, together with lack of morphological traits to identify the species from the larval stage, poses obstacles for the taxonomic identification and ...

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
