Riparian habitats are particularly prone to invasion of non-indigenous plant species and several species have been shown to rapidly expand their range along river networks, possibly mediated by the occurrence of frequent long-distance seed dispersal events. However, there is still relatively little empirical evidence for long-distance seed dispersal along river networks and most studies to date are inconclusive with regards to the direction (upstream vs. downstream) of seed movement. Using assignment analyses based on dominant AFLP markers, we provide empirical evidence that downstream long-distance seed dispersal has facilitated range expansion of the exotic plant Sisymbrium austriacum along the Meuse River. Of 242 sampled individuals, 13 (5.4%) were allocated to a population other than the one from which it was sampled. Of these, nine (3.7%) individuals were assigned to a known population within the area, the furthest being more than 20 km away from the population from which it was sampled. All putative source populations were located upstream, thus providing strong evidence for downstream migration of propagules. These results support the general view that river systems may serve as efficient transport vectors of plant species and thus may play an important role in increasing the spatial spread and range expansion of exotic plant species.

Genetic composition and diversity of Arabica coffee in the crop's centre of origin and its impact on four major fungal diseases

Beyene Zewdie, Yves Bawin, Ayco J. M. Tack, Sileshi Nemomissa, Kassahun Tesfaye, Steven B. Janssens, Sabine Van Glabeke, Isabel Roldan-Ruiz, Tom Ruttink, Olivier Honnay, Kristoffer Hylander

Summary: This study investigated the relationship between genetic variation in Arabica coffee and the incidence of four major fungal diseases in southwestern Ethiopia. Results showed that the genetic composition of coffee sites was related to the occurrence of the diseases, but in a specific way for each disease. The findings provide baseline information for studying the molecular basis of disease resistance in coffee.

Bacterial volatiles elicit differential olfactory responses in insect species from the same and different trophic levels

Summary: Insect responses to volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted by bacteria vary among and within different trophic levels. The concentrations of VOCs differ between bacterial strains, and correlations between the concentration of specific VOCs and the behavior of primary parasitoids and hyperparasitoids vary. This study provides insights into the potential use of VOCs for developing semiochemical-based strategies for biological aphid control.

Summary: The study found that Cypripedium species in Northeast China associate with a wide variety of mycorrhizal fungi, with higher diversity in rhizosphere soil compared to roots. The variation in mycorrhizal communities in rhizosphere was significantly related to sampling site.

Parasitism causes changes in caterpillar odours and associated bacterial communities with consequences for host-location by a hyperparasitoid

Summary: Microorganisms living in and on macroorganisms can produce volatile compounds that can help carnivorous enemies locate their host or prey. Parasitism by parasitoid wasps can alter the microbiome and odour of their caterpillar host, which can affect interactions with other insects. This study analyzed the odours and microbiome of cabbage white caterpillars in relation to parasitism by endoparasitoid wasps and found that parasitism led to the production of characteristic volatile compounds and significant changes in the caterpillar's microbiome. The preference of a hyperparasitoid was correlated with the presence of the external microbiome.

Fungal strain and crop cultivar affect growth of sweet pepper plants after root inoculation with entomopathogenic fungi

Liesbet Wilberts, Nicolas Rojas-Preciado, Hans Jacquemyn, Bart Lievens

Summary: Endophytic fungi can protect plants against stresses and promote plant growth. This study evaluated the effects of root inoculation with three entomopathogenic fungi on sweet pepper growth. Results showed that all three fungi enhanced plant growth, and effects varied depending on cultivar and fungal strain. The strongest effects were observed in the cultivar IDS RZ F1, particularly when inoculated with C. fumosorosea.

Cascading effects of management and landscape on insect pollinators, pollination services and yield in apple orchards

Summary: Recent declines in insect pollinators due to agricultural land use are threatening ecosystem services in agroecosystems. This study evaluates the effectiveness of organic farming in perennial cropping systems by analyzing the effects of agricultural management and landscape on pollinator diversity and fruit yield in apple orchards. The results suggest that conserving and restoring semi-natural habitats and promoting landscape diversity are crucial for pollinator conservation in orchard landscapes.

Summary: Biological control using natural enemies is an important alternative method for pest management. This study found that inoculating plants with entomopathogenic fungi can significantly enhance the biocontrol efficacy of parasitoid wasps, providing new opportunities for pest control.

Cultivar-dependent effects of plant-beneficial fungi on plant nutrient composition and feeding damage by Nesidiocoris tenuis

Summary: This study investigated the effects of different species of plant-beneficial fungi on plant nutrient composition and resistance against zoophytophagous predators, and assessed whether these effects are mediated by plant cultivar. The results showed that plant nutrient composition is mainly determined by cultivar, but is also affected by fungal treatment. Fungus-inoculated plants showed significantly less feeding damage by N. tenuis compared to control plants, but the effects depended on the cultivar and fungal strain used.

Effects of plant-beneficial fungi on plant growth and herbivore resistance under contrasting fertilizer conditions

Summary: This study investigated the effect of plant-beneficial fungi on plant growth and herbivore resistance and how these effects are influenced by fertilization. The results showed that fungal inoculation improved plant growth and increased defense responses to herbivory, reducing damage caused by herbivores. Plant-beneficial fungi have the potential to promote plant growth and reduce feeding damage, regardless of fertilization.

Summary: This study investigated the genetic diversity of coffee leaf rust (CLR) caused by H. vastatrix in Ethiopia using genetic fingerprinting. The results showed that different coffee management systems and altitudes have significant effects on the genetic structure of CLR. The findings suggest that spore dispersal and selection pressure are likely responsible for the observed high genetic diversity and structure of CLR isolates in Ethiopia.

Summary: In rural landscapes, the composition and management intensity of agricultural areas affect genetic diversity, spatial genetic structure, and gene flow in forest plant populations. This study found that low matrix permeability disrupts gene flow and decreases spatial genetic structure, particularly for forest specialist species.
