First Detailed Record of Jikradia olitoria (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae) in the Swiss Southern Alps and Evaluation of Its Current Potential as a Vector of 16SrV‐Phytoplasmas

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Jikradia olitoria Say is a Nearctic leafhopper that was recently reported in several European countries. Given its role as the vector of phytoplasmas associated with Grapevine Yellows diseases (GYD) in its native range, its presence in European vineyard agroecosystems could represent an important phytosanitary risk.

Repurposing Bird Bycatch From Camera Traps in Urban Landscapes: A Correlate of Avian and Mammalian Richness?

Journal of Zoology, EarlyView.
Here, we evaluated the ecological value of bird detections obtained opportunistically from camera traps by comparing them with standardized point count surveys conducted in 2023–2024, across the metropolitan area of Firenze, central Italy, and explored their potential to indicate broader urban biodiversity patterns through cross‐taxa relationships with

maxRgain—An R Package for Maximising Genetic Gains in Polyclonal Selection

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Polyclonal selection, which was developed in the context of ancient grapevine varieties, uses intravarietal variability to improve the resilience and sustainability of viticulture. Based on quantitative genetics and linear mixed models, this approach predicts genotypic effects to select a group of clones that, as a whole, satisfy target ...

Biotransformation of monoterpenols upon pre‐treatment with oregano essential oil vapour alleviates downy mildew susceptibility in grapevine leaves

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Pre‐treatment of grapevine plants with oregano essential oil vapour alleviates downy mildew susceptibility by accumulation of monoterpenol glycosides. Abstract Grapevine downy mildew, caused by the oomycete Plasmopara viticola, is a destructive disease that causes major economic losses as most elite grapevine cultivars are susceptible to this pathogen.

Thermotolerance thresholds of the photosystem II increase with elevation in conifer species in the Spanish Pyrenees

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
In vitro‐tested photosystem II thermotolerance of seven temperate conifers indicated higher thermal thresholds in species growing in high elevations compared to those in the lowlands. Higher thermotolerance might be explained by the adaptation of species in higher elevations to extreme diurnal temperature fluctuations.

Drivers of Urban Expansion in Europe: A Literature Review of the Roles of Electoral Cycles and Climate Change

Tijdschrift voor Economische en Sociale Geografie, EarlyView.
Abstract The urban population is growing worldwide; therefore, understanding the drivers of urban expansion is essential. To this end, this study conducts a systematic literature review followed by a thematic analysis, focusing on two main underlying drivers of urban expansion: climate change and electoral cycle.

Robustness of high‐throughput prediction of leaf ecophysiological traits using near infrared spectroscopy and poro‐fluorometry

The Plant Phenome Journal, Volume 9, Issue 1, December 2026.
Abstract Water scarcity is a major threat to crop production and quality. Improving drought tolerance through variety selection requires a deeper understanding of plant ecophysiological responses, but large‐scale phenotyping remains a bottleneck. This study assessed the potential of high‐throughput tools (spectroscopy and poro‐fluorometry) to predict ...

Multiple ortho‐mosaicking software pipelines produce comparable imagery‐derived wheat phenotypes

The Plant Phenome Journal, Volume 9, Issue 1, December 2026.
Abstract Unmanned aerial systems (UAS) equipped with multispectral and RGB sensors offer valuable data for monitoring crop health and assessing disease severity. However, the wide range of available photogrammetric software complicates software selection for high‐throughput plant phenotyping.
