The diversity of radial variations of wood properties in European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) reveals the plastic nature of juvenile wood
By Carla Allais On 2 December 2025 In All published articles, Non classé, Open Access, Research paper
Key message Radial variations in wood quality result from the changes in wood properties with tree age. Here, we show that, at least in beech (Fagus sylvatica L.), these patterns of variations are diverse, and reflect a plastic

Chemical, physical, and mechanical wood properties of Rhizophora mangle L., Avicennia germinans (L.) L., and Laguncularia racemosa (L.) C.F. Gaertn. on the Brazilian Amazon coast
By Carla Allais On 1 December 2025 In All published articles, Non classé, Open Access, Research paper
Key message Wood of Laguncularia racemosa (L.) C.F. Gaertn. and Avicennia germinans (L.) L trees have similar chemical properties, while Rhizophora mangle L. is superior in physical-mechanical properties. It is highly suitable for charcoal production and civil construction. Keywords Amazonian mangroves; Anisotropy coefficient;

The relationship between Nemozoma elongatum (Coleoptera: Trogossitidae) and its primary bark-beetle prey-species
By Carla Allais On 1 December 2025 In All published articles, Non classé, Open Access, Research paper
Key message Nemozoma elongatum (Linnaeus, 1761) shows a positive response to artificially produced lures targeting its two main prey species, Pityogenes chalcographus (Linnaeus, 1761) and Taphrorychus bicolor (Herbst, 1793), with a preference for P. chalcographus. We do not recommend using these lures in traps because
