Significance of vertical transmission of arboviruses in mosquito-borne disease epidemiology Oliver Chinonso Mbaoma, Stephanie Margarete Thomas, Carl Beierkuhnlein Parasites and Vectors, 2025 Mosquito-borne diseases (MBDs) are increasingly prevalent as a result of global change, with significant health and economic impacts worldwide. Dengue virus (DENV), chikungunya virus (CHIKV), Zika virus (ZIKV), yellow fever virus (YFV), Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) and West Nile virus (WNV) transmitted by Aedes and Culex species have been identified as arboviruses of public health interest. Vertical transmission (VT) which refers to a process where infected mosquitoes transmit viruses to their offsprings have been often overlooked in MBD epidemiology. We conducted a systematic review to evaluate the role of VT in the occurrence, prevenance and spread of MBDs, focusing on study types, mosquito species and virus genera. 175 studies selected from 837 studies between 1950 and 2024 relating to VT in mosquito population were reviewed. Findings revealed that VT occur across multiple mosquito species in natural and experimental settings, with significant variation in VT rates, depending on vector species, virus genus, and study location. Ae. aegypti, Ae. albopictus, Ae. vexans, Cx.pipiens, Cx. tarsalis and Cx. quinquefasciatus were identified as mosquito species that support VT while pathogens identified to be transmitted vertically were DENV, ZIKV, WNV, CHIKV, YFV, Sindbis virus (SINV), Ross River virus (RRV) and Mayaro virus (MAYV). VT rates reported as minimum infection rate (MIR) varied across mosquito species, study type and location. It was also reported that high VT rate may precede mosquito-borne disease outbreak. These findings indicate that VT, though often overlooked, contributes to the dynamics of MBD transmission and could influence disease outbreaks and endemism, especially under changing climatic conditions. These findings also highlight the need to incorporate VT into mathematical models, experimental studies and control strategies, given its potential role in sustaining arbovirus transmission and influencing outbreak dynamics.

Vermicompost integration in smallholder farming: Evaluating household practices and stakeholder involvement in diverse agricultural contexts of Bangladesh Md Lokman Hossain, Khusnur Jahan Shapna, Jianfeng Li, Derrick Y.F. Lai, Saifullah Khandker, Mohammed Abdus Salam, Carl Beierkuhnlein Sustainable Futures, 2025 • Vermicompost (VC) production significantly increased in the drought-prone region. • VC production increased 4-fold in Fulbari and 6.5-fold in East Lebutala over 6 years. • VC field application varied significantly across villages in the drought-prone region. • Increasing hot days and scarcity of raw materials are key constraints in VC production. • Community awareness of VC production and application enhanced in both regions. • FGD and KII respondents reported positive influences of VC on safe food production. The global agriculture sector faces numerous challenges, including environmental degradation from unsustainable practices and the impact of climate-induced shocks on food security. Using six years (2017–2022) of qualitative and quantitative observations from 8 villages in drought-prone and 4 villages in salinisation-affected regions of Bangladesh, this study evaluated (i) the production and utilization of vermicompost by smallholder farmers, and (ii) the challenges and opportunities for sustainable agriculture using vermicompost. Results show a significant increase in vermicompost production among households in the drought-prone region ( p < 0.05) over 6 years. For example, household vermicompost production in Fulbari (East Lebutala) village in the drought-prone region increased from 1.43(1.26) ton/household in 2017 to 5.77(8.29) ton/household in 2022. While households in the salinisation-affected region showed no significant changes in production, with yields ranging from 1.03(1.15) ton/household in 2017 to 1.14(1.29) ton/household in 2022 in South Kamarkhola (Jaynagar) village. In both regions, households faced multiple challenges in vermicompost production and field application, including environmental factors (hot days), raw material unavailability, pest attacks, and declining soil fertility due to salinisation. Given the reported challenges, including the increasing intensity of droughts and the scarcity of raw materials, this study highlights the critical need to address environmental conditions and strengthen farmer support systems to enhance the effectiveness of vermicompost production, thereby contributing to agricultural sustainability and improved food security across different environmental settings. The study offers important insights for policymakers and implementing organizations for creating focused interventions that assist smallholder farmers in areas affected by salinisation and drought.
Ecological resilience and biodiversity dynamics of an Island forest following a volcanic eruption María Guerrero-Campos, Patricia Marrero, Félix M. Medina, Rafael García Becerra, José Carlos Miranda, Silvia Fajardo, Carl Beierkuhnlein, Frank Weiser, Anna Walentowitz, Anke Jentsch, Tania Domínguez-Flores, Vincent Wilkens, Víctor Chano, Manuel Nogales Scientific Reports, 2025 Volcanic eruptions are complex natural disturbances with profound effects on ecosystems; however, detailed studies on their spatio-temporal impacts remain scarce. The Tajogaite eruption on La Palma (Canary Islands) lasted 85 days, from September 19 to December 13, 2021, severely affecting the endemic Canary Islands pine forest through lava flows, widespread tephra fallout, and gases. In this habitat, we conducted a comprehensive biodiversity survey over two years on twelve 30 × 30 m plots along a 7 km transect from the crater southwards. We quantified species richness and abundance of gymnosperms, angiosperms, invertebrates, lizards, birds, and bats, linking biodiversity patterns to tephra thickness and distance from the crater. Pinus canariensis near the crater resprouted a month after the eruption; however, their severe physical damage eventually resulted in their death. From June 2022 onwards, a more pronounced recovery was observed in the pines located more than 400 m from the crater. Woody understory plants survived at farther distances, while herbs and grasses have not yet arrived for recolonisation of the new substrate. The abundance and recovery of invertebrates were closely linked to host plant availability, with increases in Hemiptera, Coleoptera, and Araneae. Lizards were the most affected vertebrates, with slow recovery. Small passerines returned to fragmented habitat, while raptors and corvids remained present throughout the affected region, with populations correlating with food availability. Bats were observed throughout the pine forest, but sparsely. Overall, the study highlights the complex, group-specific dynamics of ecosystem recovery after volcanic disturbance, providing insights into resilience and succession in island ecosystems.
Testing of Drivers for Plant Species Diversity Along Elevational Gradients on Seven Mountainous Islands in the Subtropics Ole R. Vetaas, Manuel J. Steinbauer, Carl Beierkuhnlein, Benjamin Robson, Richard Field, Severin D. H. Irl, Michele Di Musciano, Alessandro Chiarucci Journal of Vegetation Science, 2025 AimsGeographic variation in species richness along elevational and latitudinal gradients may be controlled by energy, water, and productivity; however, spatial factors such as area and geometric constraints may also contribute. We use large mountainous oceanic islands, which exhibit considerable range in all proposed driver variables, to test established plant diversity models, such as the mid‐domain effect (MDE), actual evapotranspiration (AET, energy), water–energy dynamics (WED: precipitation + potential evapotranspiration), and net primary production (NPP).LocationWe used published data comprising complete floras with elevation‐specific occurrence information for seven mountainous oceanic islands (> 2000 m asl) in tropical and subtropical zones.MethodsFor each of the seven islands, plant richness was estimated within each 100 m elevation band (interpolated from maximum and minimum elevation). We used generalized linear models to evaluate the effects of area, MDE, AET, NPP (MODIS), and WED on each island and all islands simultaneously. The general WED model used in this study is a two‐term model that includes a second‐order polynomial function of PET and a linear function of precipitation. We use AIC and the proportion of explained deviance to identify the best model for explaining variation in plant richness along elevational gradients on mountainous islands.ResultsWe found remarkably consistent patterns in which AET and MDE failed to offer a good explanation for species richness. WED was the best model when all islands were analyzed simultaneously; however, analyses on separate islands revealed that the precipitation term was not significant or negatively related to richness on five of the seven islands. The second‐best model was NPP, whereas the best single predictor of richness was the polynomial expression of PET. The spatial variables, area, and the autocorrelated masl were strongly correlated with the residuals of the weak models.ConclusionsBased on these observations, WED and NPP are superior in explaining richness on mountainous islands, whereas MDE and AET have low explanatory power. Precipitation has a negative correlation with species richness in five out of seven islands.
Transforming agriculture with vermicompost: 7-year empirical evidence from drought-prone and salinization-affected regions of Bangladesh Md Lokman Hossain, Khusnur Jahan Shapna, Jianfeng Li, Md Humayain Kabir, Farzana Siddika, Saifullah Khandker, Carl Beierkuhnlein Journal of Cleaner Production, 2025 Global agricultural production has been affected by the increased frequency of climate extremes (e.g., droughts) in dry regions and heightened soil and water salinity in coastal regions. Exploration of sustainable agricultural practices is central to addressing the impacts of climate-induced shocks, restore soil fertility, and ensure food security. While there is growing evidence of crop losses due to increased drought and soil salinity, empirical evidence on nature-based solutions for increasing crop production through soil fertility recovery remains limited and poorly understood. Investigating the soil nutrients (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium) and salinity from the 37 field experiments (22 treatments and 15 control plots in 11 villages) over 2017–2023, this study examined the effects of vermicompost on soil nutrients and salinity (electrical conductivity [EC]) in drought-prone and salinization-affected regions of Bangladesh. Results reveal that the application of vermicompost reduced soil salinity in salinization-affected region and enhanced soil nutrient contents in both regions over 7 years. In vermicompost-utilized experiments in the salinization-affected region, soil salinity (EC1:5) levels decreased from 5.56–7.65 dS m −1 in 2017 to 4.93–5.89 dS m −1 in 2023. Soil salinity and nutrient contents showed significant differences among the vermicompost-applied experiments, while no detectable changes in salinity and nutrient contents were found in the controlled experiments. None of the cropping patterns in salinization-affected region (brinjal-watermelon and potato-watermelon) and drought-prone region (brinjal-pointed gourd and brinjal-sesame) had significant effects on the observed changes in soil salinity and nutrient contents. These findings suggest that regardless of the crop combinations, vermicompost is a sustainable and versatile soil amendment, which can be effectively used in diverse agricultural systems and environments. The study provides empirical evidence to support policy decisions aimed at promoting sustainable agricultural practices and enhancing soil health using vermicompost. The findings inform strategies for reducing soil salinity and enhancing sustainable agriculture in comparable regions worldwide. • Vermicompost application increased soil nutrients in both regions over 7 years. • Vermicompost application decreased salinity levels in salinization-affected region. • Variations in cropping patterns have no effects on soil nutrient and salinity levels. • Vermicompost is considered as a nature-based solution in diverse environmental settings.
EVALUATING REMOTE SENSING DATA AS A TOOL TO MINIMIZE SPATIAL AUTOCORRELATION IN IN-SITU VEGETATION SAMPLING Esther Baumann, Carl Beierkuhnlein, Anna Preitauer, Katrin Schmid, Michael Rudner Erdkunde, 2025 The distinction between geographical patterns caused by underlying environmental factors and inherent spatial autocorrelation is a general challenge for field research. The quality and validity of phytogeographical studies is strongly dependent on disentangling spatial and ecological proximity. This is also crucial for applied studies in nature conservation. One key assumption for many statistical analyses is the independence of observations. In this study we first identify the range of spatial autocorrelation in managed grasslands based on field data. Along a gradient in a valley bottom, we set up five 60 m x 60 m squares, segmented in 36 10 m x 10 m square grid cells. In 20 of the 10 m x 10 m grid cells, we sampled vegetation along a 10 m line with a buffer of one meter resulting in a 20 m² sampling plot. In a second step, we matched Sentinel-2 images for the same locations and calculated the normalized difference vegetation index NDVI and the normalized difference red edge index NDRE. For both, field data and satellite data, Mantel correlograms for floristic distances and spectral indices were used to analyse the spatial autocorrelation. We found the vegetation in the studied grasslands to be spatially correlated up to 25 m. At none of the studied sites the positive spatial autocorrelation reaches beyond. The spatial autocorrelation of spectral indices correlates well with the correlations observed field data. The correlograms of NDVI resembled the ones of the field data slightly better compared to the correlograms of NDRE and RGB. We conclude that employing remote sensing to assess the role of spatial autocorrelation for grasslands is a valid approach. We show that it reflects similar patterns as the field data. The spatial resolution of freely available satellite data proved sufficient to test for the minimum distance between vegetation samples to avoid spatial autocorrelation.
Seed Bank and Ashfalls: The Ecological Resetting Effect of the Recent Tajogaite Volcano Eruption in the Canary Pine Forest (La Palma, Spain) Félix Manuel Medina, María Guerrero‐Campos, Guillermo Hernández Martín, Thomas Boulesteix, Frank Weiser, Anna Walentowitz, Anke Jentsch, Carl Beierkuhnlein, Patricia Marrero, Christopher Shatto, Víctor Chano, Manuel Nogales Journal of Vegetation Science, 2025 Question Tephra deposition is one of the most critical sudden alterations caused by volcanic eruptions in ecosystems. Tephra accumulation on the ground decreases with distance from the crater. The effect of ash deposition on the seed bank and its subsequent germination success has previously been studied by removing the tephra from the soil. However, conducting controlled experiments on the effect of tephra thickness on the seed bank and its seedling emergence capacity is a new approach to tackle and quantify recruitment mechanisms. Here, we present the first experimental study of the impact of tephra layer thickness on the seed bank combined with field surveys on seedling emergence. Location Tajogaite volcano, Cumbre Vieja Ridge, La Palma, Canary Islands. Methods The study includes a controlled experiment and a field survey along a gradient from the volcano crater to the perimeter within the Canary Island's pine forest. In the experiment, six tephra thickness categories were used to bury seeds (1, 5, 10, 45, 75 and 150 cm) based on observatory evidence corresponding to the distance away from the crater (7, 4, 2, 1.5, 0.75 and 0.15 km, respectively). Seeds were collected from the four most characteristic endemic pine forest species, representing different seed sizes and growth forms: Pinus canariensis (Pinaceae, tree), Chamaecytisus proliferus (Fabaceae, shrub), Lotus campylocladus (Fabaceae, forb) and Cistus symphytifolius (Cystaceae, shrub). One hundred seeds of each species were used per treatment (2800 seeds). In the field survey, we randomly established six quadrats (30 × 30 m) at the same distance from the crater as indicated above. Seedlings (< 5 cm in height) from natural regeneration were counted every three months. Results After 18 months under ash, germination in the experiment was only detected in the treatments of control (germination rate of P. canariensis = 71%, Ch. proliferus = 13%, L. campylocladus = 24%, C. symphytifolius = 1%), and at 1 cm (51%, 18%, 11%, 1%) and 5 cm (5%, 4%, 0%, 0%) of ash depth. Conclusions The massive ashfall during this eruption completely and suddenly dysfunctionalized the seed bank as a reservoir of recruitment in areas within a radius of approximately 5 km from the crater (still buried under a 5 cm thick ash layer to date). Therefore, we provide evidence for the hypothesis that the recent volcanic eruption will profoundly change plant community dynamics and composition within large areas of the Canary Island's pine forest.
