A high-resolution, country-wide scenario analysis of forest susceptibility to spruce bark beetle damage in Norway

This study evaluates how different harvesting strategies affect forest susceptibility to spruce bark beetle damage in Norway using high-resolution simulations.

Temperature-induced methylome changes during asexual reproduction trigger transcriptomic and phenotypic changes in Fragaria vesca

This study shows that temperature-induced methylome changes during asexual reproduction in Fragaria vesca lead to transcriptomic and phenotypic changes, with ecotype-specific methylation patterns and gene expression effects.

A highly contiguous genome assembly of a major forest pest, the Eurasian spruce bark beetle Ips typographus

The paper presents a high-quality genome assembly of the Eurasian spruce bark beetle, revealing gene families related to plant cell wall degradation and providing resources for studying its evolutionary biology and pest control.
