Agrilus planipennis (Coleoptera: Buprestidae) is a quarantine pest that is threatening native ash populations in both North America and Europe. Early detection of this pest, which can cause severe infestations, is essential, and molecular tests applied at different developmental stages and environmental traces can contribute substantially to improving control measures to prevent or contain A. planipennis infestations. In this...

The sustainability of global coffee production might be threatened by climate change and associated disease outbreaks, prompting the interest in underutilized wild Coffea species as reservoirs of genetic and chemical diversity. This study aimed to characterize the non-volatile chemical profiles and estimate genetic values for caffeine, trigonelline, and chlorogenic acid (CGA) of beans from 24 Coffea racemosa and 21 C. zangueba...
