As global plant trade expands, tree disease epidemics caused by pathogen introductions are increasing. Since ca 2000, the introduced oomycete Phytophthora ramorum has devastating in Europe and North America, spreading as four ancient clonal lineages, each of a single mating type, suggesting different geographical origins. We surveyed laurosilva forests for P. around Fansipan mountain on Vietnam-China border Shikoku Kyushu islands, southwest Japan. The surveys yielded 71 isolates which we...
A severe decline and dieback of European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) stands have been observed in Austria recent decades. From 2008 to 2010, the distribution diversity Phytophthora species pathogenic fungi pests were surveyed 34 forest Lower Austria, analyses performed assess relationships between presence various parameters, i.e. root condition, crown damage, ectomycorrhizal abundance site conditions. In total, 6464 trees surveyed, Phytophthora-associated collar rot aerial bark cankers...
Phytophthora is a long-established, well known and globally important genus of plant pathogens. Phylogenetic evidence has shown that the biologically distinct, obligate biotrophic downy mildews evolved from at least twice. Since, cladistically, this renders ‘paraphyletic’, it been proposed evolutionary clades be split into multiple genera (Runge et al. 2011; Crous 2021; Thines 2023; 2024). In letter, we review arguments for retention generic name with broad circumscription made by Brasier...
Overwintering of invertebrates in Central Europe drives the population dynamics subsequent seasons and have direct impact on ecosystem services biodiversity conservation. The objective this study was to investigate spatial temporal distribution overwintering arthropods fallen leaves three fruit orchards. autumn early spring distributions several arthropod taxa were studied apple, pear, cherry orchards relation environmental variables. In predefined areas (1 x 1 m) samples collected 2018/2019...

The wild boar population has been on a permanent increase over the last decades, causing conflicts with requirements of modern human society. Existing effort to stabilize numbers generally fails one causes being high reproductive potential boar. aim this study was assess onset sexual maturity in males regard age, physical frame and environmental conditions basis testicle development sperm production. This assessed dimensions gonads occurrence boars caught during common hunts. Environmental...
Abstract Due to intense ash dieback, this research tested the bioactivity of Thymus vulgaris, Lavandula angustifolia , and Cupressus sempervirens essential oils (EO) against Hymenoscyphus fraxineus . In vitro testing showed that EOs had a pronounced fungitoxic effect on H. The most effective EO was extracted from T. vulgaris while obtained L. C. were less same effect. At concentration 1%, all inhibited mycelial growth, 0.01% 0.1% concentrations also growth in planta test conducted...
Melanoleuca is one of the taxonomically most complicated genera Agaricomycetes with several lineages. The subgenus Urticocystis genus contains species either urticoid or absent cheilocystidia. In this paper, three new European species, galbuserae, fontenlae, and acystidiata are described as to science. related stepposa tristis, was discovered in alpine grasslands North Italy. type specimens recent collections angelesiana, castaneofusca, luteolosperma, pseudopaedida, robertiana were sequenced...
Phytophthora infections are followed by histological alterations, physiological and metabolomic adjustments in the host but very few studies contemplate these changes simultaneously. Fagus sylvatica seedlings were inoculated with A1 A2 mating types of heterothallic P. ×cambivora homothallic plurivora to identify plant accompanying microscope observations colonization process one, two three weeks after inoculation. plurivora-infected plants died at a faster pace than those showed higher...

We investigated the ability of Hymenoscyphus fraxineus mitovirus 1 (HfMV1) to spread in nature through airborne inoculum its fungal host, devastating fraxineus. Eight rotating-arm spore traps were installed collect spores (presumably ascospores) H. four ecologically different ash forests Czech Republic. Spore trap samples subjected direct DNA and RNA extractions subsequent qPCR mitovirus-specific reverse transcription (RT) for detection quantification HfMV1, respectively. The prevalence...
Revision of the taxonomically complicated European Melanoleuca taxa with well-developed macrocystidia (subgenus Melanoleuca) is presented. The species are delimited by macro- and micromorphological characters multilocus molecular data based on internal transcribed spacer (ITS), second largest subunit RNA polymerase I (rpb2), translation elongation factor 1-alpha (tef1) genes. study both type material recent collections. Phylogenetically, these form 10 clades recognized as 11 separate...
The study was carried out in the experiment with 16 provenances of common ash (Fraxinus excelsior Linnaeus) and 2 narrow-leaved angustifolia Vahl) at a series 5 parallel trial plots established gradient from lowland riverine to upland ravine sites. role site, species provenance proved have significant effects on intensity dieback (ADB) associated infection by Hymenoscyphus fraxineus (T.

Caliciopsis pinea has been historically described as a secondary pathogen of pines. However, it recently associated with severe damages on Pinus radiata in Italy. Our study focused the description seasonal spore dispersal C. and its relation to meteorological conditions (temperature, leaf wetness, relative humidity precipitations). For this experiment one infected P. plantation was sampled Tuscany (Italy). A rotating arm trap together weather station were installed sample aerospora for 24 h...
Abstract The adaptation of insects to environmental changes can constitute a crucial factor in their development and activity. response Cabera pusaria L. (Lepidoptera: Geometridae) caterpillars high manganese (Mn) concentrations the diet was studied. Birch leaves were treated by dipping MnCl 2 ·4H O solutions, thereby achieving Mn contents 370 (T0), 695 (T1), 3 198 (T2), 6 302 mg kg −1 (T3). reactions determined observing caterpillar mortality, time, food consumption, pupal weight.

A population study of Phytophthora cactorum was performed using ddRADseq sequence variation analysis completed by the effector genes-RXLR6, RXLR7 and SCR113. The structure described F-statistics, heterozygosity, nucleotide diversity, number private alleles, polymorphic sites, kinship coefficient analysis. P. in Europe seems to be structured into host-associated groups. isolates from woody hosts are four groups previously, while strawberry form another group. diverse gene composition...
Slow growing oomycete isolates with morphological resemblance to Phytophthora were obtained from forest streams during routine monitoring for the EU quarantine pathogen ramorum in Ireland and Northern Ireland. Internal Transcribed Spacer (ITS) sequence analysis indicated that they belonged two previously unknown species of Nothophytophthora , a recently erected sister genus . Morphological temperature-growth studies carried out characterise both new species. In addition, Bayesian...
Abstract The spatial distribution of saproxylic beetles landing and climbing stems 12 grown healthy Scots pine trees ( Pinus sylvestris L.) was examined in detail during a 3‐year trial. were sampled using sticky traps attached to the tree trunk at three parts (i.e., base, middle part trunk, crown). Each two facing opposite cardinal directions (north south). In total, 4063 individuals representing 169 taxa yielded 1405 obtained samples. Remarkable interstrata diversification beetle...
Abstract The phenomenon of cryptic species is widespread among various fungal lineages. Fomes inzengae (Ces. & De Not.) Cooke has been recently recognized as a South European kin wood-decay basidiomycete F. fomentarius (L.) Fr. due to the problematic morphological identification both species, their taxonomic status disputed. aim this research examine distribution, host preferences, characters, and phylogenetic relationships between in Moravian region Czechia (Central Europe), where occur...
Wild boar diet composition highly reflects the management of species as well level its damaging effect. For this reason we tried to prove similarity and reliability three methods wild analysis find out their suitability in practical use. Gastrointestinal tracts 27 specimens were sampled, with stomach faecal contents each individual being analysed compared. Stomach faeces analyses done by identification food items under microscope measuring quantity volumetrically. The third method, so called...
