Long‐term reduction of invasive killer shrimp (Dikerogammarus villosus) density following removal of zebra mussel (Dreissena polymorpha) shells and coarse substrate on UK lake beds

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 3, July–September 2026.
Working with Citizen Scientists, researchers tested manual removal of coarse cobbles and zebra mussel shells from fine‐sediment lake beds to reduce invasive killer shrimp densities. Killer shrimp use these features for habitat, and after clearing them from 3 × 3 m sections of lakebed, killer shrimp densities were reduced by over 90% in these sections ...

Epigenetic‐Based Evidence for Distinct Effects of Age, Sex, and Experience in Developmental Critical Period Learning

Developmental Neurobiology, Volume 86, Issue 3, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Although much is known about the encoding of experience, how the brain organizes neural circuits capable of learning and memory formation is largely unstudied. Canonical critical periods emerge from a convergence of maturation‐ and experience‐dependent processes.

First Report of Zebra Chip Disease and “Candidatus Liberibacter solanacearum” on Potatoes in Idaho

Plant Disease, 2012
In September 2011, potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) tubers graded in a packing facility in south-central Idaho were observed with internal discolorations suggestive of zebra chip disease (ZC). Symptoms were observed in 1 to 2% of tubers of cv. Russet Norkotah and included brown spots and streaks especially in and near the vascular tissue.

Improved Detection and Sequencing of Rickettsia spp. DNA in South African Wildlife

Veterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 4, July 2026.
Nested gltA PCR detected Rickettsia spp. DNA in 44% of South African wildlife samples previously negative by RLB, revealing spotted fever, typhus and transitional group lineages, novel host records, co‐infection and multi‐organ dissemination in impala, highlighting complex wildlife involvement and zoonotic risk within a One Health framework.

Bactericera cockerelli (Sulc), a potential threat to China's potato industry

Journal of Integrative Agriculture, 2020
The potato psyllid Bactericera cockerelli (Hemiptera: Triozidae) has recently emerged as a serious pest of potatoes and other solanaceous crops. It causes direct feeding damage and also vectors Candidatus Liberibacter solanaceaerum (Lso), a pathogen that

Social organization and habitat use shape the gut microbiome of a marine fish

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 7, Page 1091-1107, July 2026.
This study provides the first evidence linking habitat use—and to a lesser extent social organization—to gut microbiome composition in a wild marine fish. The results indicate that local habitat conditions are the primary driver of microbial variation, while social effects are detectable but weak.

Comparison of Potato and Asian Citrus Psyllid Adult and Nymph Transcriptomes Identified Vector Transcripts with Potential Involvement in Circulative, Propagative Liberibacter Transmission

Pathogens, 2014
The potato psyllid (PoP) Bactericera cockerelli (Sulc) and Asian citrus psyllid (ACP) Diaphorina citri Kuwayama are the insect vectors of the fastidious plant pathogen, Candidatus Liberibacter solanacearum (CLso) and Ca. L. asiaticus (CLas), respectively.

Bactericera cockerelli Picorna-like Virus and Three New Viruses Found Circulating in Populations of Potato/Tomato Psyllids (Bactericera cockerelli)

Viruses
An investigation of viruses circulating in populations of field and laboratory potato/tomato psyllids (Bactericera cockerelli) was conducted using high-throughput sequencing (HTS) technology and conventional RT-PCR. Three new viruses were discovered: one

New destructive desease of potato: Zebra chip

, 2014
Potato production provides one of the main sources for food production, processed either at home or by the industry. Plant diseases are often limiting factor in cultivation of this crop, leading to reduction of yield and tuber quality. Zebra chip disease, caused by a floem-limited bacterium, belonging to the genus Candidatus Liberibacter, is a new ...
