TL;DR: Improved international cooperation is crucial to reduce the impacts of invasive alien species on biodiversity, ecosystem services, and human livelihoods, as synergies with other global changes are exacerbating current invasions and facilitating new ones, thereby escalating the extent and impacts of invaders.

Diversity in the Botryosphaeriales: Looking back, looking forward.
TL;DR: A well defined natural classification and an extensive collection of tools to study the Botryosphaeriaceae, including a growing number of genomes, now provide a springboard for a much deeper exploration of their biology, biogeography and host associations.

TL;DR: This article used all published records with available sequence data of the Botryosphaeriaceae in Australia to examine the distribution and host range of these taxa.
Journal ArticleDOI
The unified framework for biological invasions: a forest fungal pathogen perspective
TL;DR: This commentary highlights four emerging issues that need to be considered regarding the invasions by fungal pathogens of trees and it emphasizes opportunities to better understand their relevance and impacts on natural and planted forests.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparative genomics of Botryosphaeria dothidea and B. kuwatsukai , causal agents of apple ring rot, reveals both species expansion of pathogenicity-related genes and variations in virulence gene content during speciation
TL;DR: Comparing the genomes of Botryosphaeria dothidea and B. kuwatsukai will be instrumental in understanding how both phytopathogens interact with their plant hosts and in designing efficient strategies for disease control and molecular breeding to help ensure global apple production and food security.

The opportunistic pathogen, Neofusicoccum australe, is responsible for crown dieback of peppermint (Agonis flexuosa) in Western Australia
TL;DR: The hypothesis that the recent dieback of A. flexuosa is caused by a common fungal endophyte, which is capable of causing disease in a stressed host is supported.

Diversity and pathogenicity of Botryosphaeriaceae on declining Ostrya carpinifolia in Slovenia and Italy following extreme weather conditions
Barbara Piškur,Draginja Pavlic,Bernard Slippers,Nikica Ogris,Giorgio Maresi,Michael J. Wingfield,D. Jurc +6 more
TL;DR: Diversity based on AFLP markers indicates that the dieback observed in O. carpinifolia is probably associated with a heterogenous population of B. dothidea, which emerged from a latent state in response to changed climate conditions.

Diversity of Botryosphaeria species on horticultural plants in Victoria and New South Wales
TL;DR: To help understand the diversity of Botryosphaeria species found on horticultural crops in Victoria and New South Wales, 30 isolates were identified using rDNA ITS sequences and elongation factor 1 α (EF-1 α) gene sequences.

Surveys for asymptomatic persistence of Sphaeropsis sapinea on or in stems of red pine seedlings from seven Great Lakes region nurseries
TL;DR: The fungus S. sapinea persists on or in stems of asymptomatic red pine nursery seedlings, and proliferates to cause collar rot and mortality after planting, and was never detected from seedlings from the Michigan DNR or USDA Forest Service nurseries.
