Biogeography and global flows of 100 major alien fungal and fungus-like oomycet...
Schertler, Anna; Lenzner, Bernd; Dullinger, Stefan; Moser, Dietmar; Bufford, Jennifer L.; Ghelardini, Luisa; Santini, Alberto; Capinha, CésarAim: Spreading infectious diseases associated with introduced pathogens can have devastating effects on native biota and human livelihoods. We analyse the global distribution of 100 major alien fungal and oomycete pathogens with substantial socio-economic and environmental impacts and examine their taxonomy, ecological characteristics, temporal accumulation trajectories, regional hot- and coldspots of taxon ric...

Conditions of emergence of the Sooty Bark Disease and aerobiology of Cryptostro...
Muller, Elodie; Dvořák, Miloň; Marçais, Benoit; Caeiro, Elsa; Clot, Bernard; Desprez-Loustau, Marie-Laure; Gedda, Björn; Lundén, KarlThe sooty bark disease (SBD) is an emerging disease affecting sycamore maple trees (Acer pseudoplatanus) in Europe. Cryptostroma corticale, the causal agent, putatively native to eastern North America, can be also pathogenic for humans causing pneumonitis. It was first detected in 1945 in Europe, with markedly increasing reports since 2000. Pathogen development appears to be linked to heat waves and drought epi...
The probabilistic travelling salesman problem with crowdsourcing
Santini, Alberto; Viana, Ana; Klimentova, Xenia; Pedroso, João PedroWe study a variant of the Probabilistic Travelling Salesman Problem arising when retailers crowdsource last-mile deliveries to their own customers, who can refuse or accept in exchange for a reward. A planner must identify which deliveries to offer, knowing that all deliveries need fulfilment, either via crowdsourcing or using the retailer’s own vehicle. We formalise the problem and position it in both the lite...
Metabarcoding reveals southern hemisphere fungal endophytes within wood of cult...
Migliorini, Duccio; Messal, Mandy; Santini, Alberto; Ramos, Ana Paula; Talhinhas, Pedro; Wingfield, Michael J.; Burgess, TreenaEndophytic fungal hitch-hikers have been difficult to detect in the past, and have potentially spread these latent pathogens via the global plant trade. The African genera Protea, Leucospermum and Leucadendron, commercially referred to as proteas, form the basis of a global flower production industry. The largest producers of proteas are Australia and South Africa, followed by Portugal and Spain. In the 1990s p...
Pathologists and entomologists must join forces against forest pest and pathoge...
Jactel, Hervé; Desprez-Loustau, Marie-Laure; Battisti, Andrea; Brockerhoff, Eckehard; Santini, Alberto; Stenlid, Jan; Bjorkman, ChristerThe world’s forests have never been more threatened by invasions of exotic pests and pathogens, whose causes and impacts are reinforced by global change. However, forest entomologists and pathologists have, for too long, worked independently, used different concepts and proposed specific management methods without recognising parallels and synergies between their respective fields. Instead, we advocate increase...
