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.

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.

TL;DR: A cluster analysis showed that Pinus tissues can be separated from Fagus tissues on the basis of their endophyte populations, and a K-means cluster analysis revealed that eleven of the fungi isolated were mainly responsible for this separation.

SNAP: workbench management tool for evolutionary population genetic analysis
Eric W. Price,Ignazio Carbone +1 more
TL;DR: The workbench enhances population parameter estimation by ensuring that the assumptions and program limitations of each method are met and by providing a step-by-step methodology for examining population processes that integrates both summary-statistic methods and coalescent-based population genetic models.

Water stress and Sphaeropsissapinea as a latent pathogen of red pine seedlings.
TL;DR: Mortality and frequency of identification of the pathogen was quantified for seedlings subjected to different water regimes or watering regime-fungicide combinations in glasshouse experiments, indicating a high probability that mortality was not independent of watering regime.
