Journal ArticleDOI
Hymenoscyphus pseudoalbidus, the causal agent of European ash dieback
TL;DR: This pathogen profile represents a comprehensive review of the state of research from the discovery of the pathogen and points out knowledge gaps and research needs.

The ash dieback crisis: genetic variation in resistance can prove a long‐term solution
Lea Vig McKinney,Lene Rostgaard Nielsen,David B. Collinge,Iben Margrete Thomsen,Jon Kehlet Hansen,Erik Dahl Kjær +5 more
TL;DR: Following a period of high mortality in natural populations, selection and breeding of remaining viable ash trees could provide a route for restoring the role of ash in the landscape and it is recommended that resistant trees (genotypes) should be selected to facilitate conservation of the species.

Global change, parasite transmission and disease control: lessons from ecology
Joanne Cable,Iain Barber,Brian Boag,Amy Ellison,Eric R. Morgan,Kris A. Murray,Emily L. Pascoe,Steven M. Sait,Anthony J. Wilson,Mark Booth +9 more
TL;DR: Evidence regarding potential effects of ‘system changes’ on parasite transmission from wild host–parasite systems is highlighted and synthesized to support robust predictions of altered parasite dynamics in a rapidly changing world.

TL;DR: A rapid, integrated, multidisciplinary research response to an emerging health threat in a non-model organism opens the way for mitigation of the epidemic of ash dieback.
Journal ArticleDOI
Increasing forest loss worldwide from invasive pests requires new trade regulations
Bitty A. Roy,Helen M. Alexander,Jennifer Davidson,Faith T Campbell,Jeremy J. Burdon,Richard Sniezko,Clive Brasier +6 more
TL;DR: It is shown that the number of forest pest invasions recorded for a given country has a significant positive relationship with trade (as indicated by gross domestic product) and is not associated with the amount of forested land within that country.

Emerging fungal threats to animal, plant and ecosystem health.
Matthew C. Fisher,Daniel A. Henk,Cheryl J. Briggs,John S. Brownstein,Lawrence C. Madoff,Sarah L. McCraw,Sarah J. Gurr +6 more
TL;DR: It is argued that nascent fungal infections will cause increasing attrition of biodiversity, with wider implications for human and ecosystem health, unless steps are taken to tighten biosecurity worldwide.
Book ChapterDOI
In the Netherlands
TL;DR: The major Reformation of the 16th century is represented in the Netherlands most clearly by Cassander, Coornhert and Lipsius as mentioned in this paper, who follow one another chronologically in this order and they show in that order an increasing subjection to the influence of the Classics and a reduced need of supernatural salvation in the christian sense.
Journal ArticleDOI
Loss of foundation species: consequences for the structure and dynamics of forested ecosystems
Aaron M. Ellison,Michael S. Bank,Barton D. Clinton,Elizabeth A. Colburn,Katherine J. Elliott,Chelcy R. Ford,David R. Foster,Brian D. Kloeppel,Jennifer D. Knoepp,Gary M. Lovett,Jacqueline E. Mohan,David A. Orwig,Nicholas L. Rodenhouse,William V. Sobczak,Kristina A. Stinson,Jeffrey K. Stone,Christopher M. Swan,Jill Thompson,Betsy Von Holle,Jackson R. Webster +19 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that the loss of foundation tree species changes the local environment on which a variety of other species depend and how this disrupts fundamental ecosystem processes, including rates of decomposition, nutrient fluxes, carbon sequestration, and energy flow.

Extinction debt: a challenge for biodiversity conservation.
Mikko Kuussaari,Riccardo Bommarco,Risto K. Heikkinen,Aveliina Helm,Jochen Krauss,Regina Lindborg,Erik Öckinger,Meelis Pärtel,Joan Pino,Ferran Rodà,Constantí Stefanescu,Tiit Teder,Martin Zobel,Ingolf Steffan-Dewenter +13 more
TL;DR: Standardized long-term monitoring, more high-quality empirical studies on different taxa and ecosystems and further development of analytical methods will help to better quantify extinction debt and protect biodiversity.
