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.

Migrate or evolve: options for plant pathogens under climate change.
TL;DR: The review pinpoints improving confidence in model prediction by minimizing uncertainty, developing management strategies to reduce overall pathogen fitness, and finding new sources of data to trawl for climate signatures on pathogens as important challenges for future research.

Botryosphaeriaceae occurring on native Syzygium cordatum in South Africa and their potential threat to Eucalyptus
TL;DR: Results of this study illustrate that species of the Botryosphaeriaceae, including N. mangiferae, were more pathogenic on the Eucalyptus clone than on S. cordatum, while B. dothidea and L. gonubiensis were the least pathogenic.

Shiguo Zhou,Glen R. Stanosz +1 more
TL;DR: Results indicate that the genus Botryosphaeria is not monophyletic, with B. vaccinii and Phyllostictavaccinii not closely related to other fungi comprising this genus and needs additional study and substantial taxonomic revision.
