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.

Genetic evidence for invasive rat‐caused vegetation damage has implications for endemic Caribbean mammal management

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 ...

What Risk Does Phytophthora ramorum Pose to Sitka Spruce (Picea sitchensis) and Other Conifers in Britain?

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.

Cutting the sap: First molecular phylogeny of twig‐girdler longhorn beetles (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae: Lamiinae: Onciderini) suggests shifts in host plant attack behaviours contributed to morphological evolution

Systematic Entomology
Abstract Understanding how novel adaptive traits arise, evolve and impact other aspects of an organism's phenotype is a foundational question in evolutionary biology. We explore this by focusing on Onciderini (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae: Lamiinae), a tribe of longhorn beetles commonly referred to as twig girdlers ...

Early successional changes in coniferous forest small mammal communities following a high‐severity summer wildfire

Ecosphere, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2025.
Abstract Forest fires in the southern Rocky Mountains are changing due to climate warming and increased fuel loads. Landscape‐scale stand‐replacement fires create extensive treeless swaths without regenerative seed sources, leading to long‐term conversion of coniferous forest to montane meadows and chaparral.
