Metagenomic characterisation of fungal communities associated with Scots pine bark beetles: mechanisms of selective antagonism and monoterpene tolerance

Diet breadth in two polyphagous Spodoptera moths in a wide range of host and non-host plants and the potential for range expansion

This study compares diet breadth and larval performance of two Spodoptera moths on diverse plants, finding that S. littoralis has a broader diet than S. frugiperda.

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.
