Copper pollution exacerbates the effects of ocean acidification and warming on kelp microscopic early life stages
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018-10-03)Ocean warming (OW), ocean acidification (OA) and their interaction with local drivers, e.g., copper pollution, may negatively affect macroalgae and their microscopic life stages. We evaluated meiospore development of the ... -
The effect of climate variability in the efficacy of the entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium acridum against the desert locust Schistocerca gregaria
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022-05-09)Despite substantial efforts to control locusts they remain periodically a major burden in Africa, causing severe yield loss and hence loss of food and income. Distribution maps indicating the value of the basic reproduction ... -
European-wide forest monitoring substantiate the neccessity for a joint conservation strategy to rescue European ash species (Fraxinus spp.)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022-03-19)European ash (Fraxinus excelsior) and narrow-leafed ash (F. angustifolia) are keystone forest tree species with a broad ecological amplitude and significant economic importance. Besides global warming both species are ... -
Genetic studies of fall armyworm indicate a new introduction into Africa and identify limits to its migratory behavior
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022-02-04)The fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda (J.E. Smith) is native to the Americas and a major pest of corn and several other crops of economic importance. The species has characteristics that make it of particular concern ... -
The invasive forest pathogen Hymenoscyphus fraxineus boosts mortality and triggers niche replacement of European ash (Fraxinus excelsior)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-03-24)Determining the impacts of invasive pathogens on tree mortality and growth is a difficult task, in particular in the case of species occurring naturally at low frequencies in mixed stands. In this study, we quantify such ... -
Mass spectrometry reveals the presence of specific set of epigenetic DNA modifications in the Norway spruce genome
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019-12-17)5-Methylcytosine (5mC) is an epigenetic modification involved in regulation of gene expression in metazoans and plants. Iron-(II)/α-ketoglutarate-dependent dioxygenases can oxidize 5mC to 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC), ... -
Root-associated entomopathogenic fungi manipulate host plants to attract herbivorous insects
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-12-30)Root-associated entomopathogenic fungi (R-AEF) indirectly infuence herbivorous insect performance. However, host plant-R-AEF interactions and R-AEF as biological control agents have been studied independently and without ... -
Seasonal dynamics of lotic bacterial communities assessed by 16S rRNA gene amplicon deep sequencing
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-10-02)Aquatic microbial diversity, composition, and dynamics play vital roles in sustaining water ecosystem functionality. Yet, there is still limited knowledge on bacterial seasonal dynamics in lotic environments. This study ... -
Transcriptional profiling of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) during a compatible interaction with the cereal cyst nematode Heterodera avenae
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019-02-18)Cereal cyst nematode (CCN, Heterodera avenae) presents severe challenges to wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) production worldwide. An investigation of the interaction between wheat and CCN can greatly improve our understanding ... -
Transcriptome profiling and in silico detection of the antimicrobial peptides of red king crab Paralithodes camtschaticus
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-07-29)Endogenous antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are evolutionarily ancient factors of innate immunity, which are produced by all multicellular organisms and play a key role in their protection against infection. Red king crab ...
