Deciphering Hyperammonia-Producing Bacteria (HAB) in the Rumen of Water Buffaloes (Bubalus bubalis) and Their Inhibition through Plant Extracts and Essential Oils [PDF]
MicroorganismsHyperammonia-producing bacteria (HAB) are a class of microbes present in the stomach of ruminants, responsible for the rapid rate of ammonia production from protein degradation beyond the capacity of these animals for their utilization.

Adult facilitation becomes competition as juvenile soapberry bugs age [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2017 ABSTRACTWhether intraspecific interactions are facilitative or competitive may change across individual ontogeny. In plant-feeding insects, the direction of this interaction is likely to be mediated by host plant defenses. Here I conducted two experiments looking at the direct effect of a physical seed defense and the role of intraspecific facilitation

Maladaptive Plasticity Masks the Effects of Natural Selection in the Red-Shouldered Soapberry Bug [PDF]
The American Naturalist, 2017 Natural selection can produce local adaptation, but local adaptation can be masked by maladaptive plasticity. Maladaptive plasticity may arise as a result of gene flow producing novel gene combinations that have not been exposed to selection.

Metabolome and transcriptome analysis reveals components regulating triterpenoid saponin biosynthesis of soapberry [PDF]
bioRxiv, 2022 AbstractSoapberry (Sapindus mukorossi Gaertn.) pericarps are rich in valuable bioactive triterpenoid saponins. However, the saponin content dynamics and the molecular regulatory network of saponin biosynthesis in soapberry pericarps remain largely unclear.

Natural selection and maladaptive plasticity in the red-shouldered soapberry bug [PDF]
, 2016 AbstractNatural selection and phenotypic plasticity can both produce locally differentiated phenotypes, but novel environments or gene combinations can produce plasticity that works in opposition to adaptive change. The red-shouldered soapberry bug (Jadera haematoloma) was locally adapted to feed on the seeds of an introduced and a native host plant in

Host Race Radiation in the soapberry bug: natural history with the history [PDF]
Evolution, 1992 Evolution by natural selection is remarkably well documented in the diversification of soapberry bug populations on their native and recently introduced host plants. In this century, populations of this native seed-eating insect have colonized three plant species introduced to North America.

Ecology of Leptocoris Hahn (Hemiptera: Rhopalidae) soapberry bugs in Australia [PDF]
Molecular Ecology, 2005 AbstractContemporary adaptation of plant feeding insects to introduced hosts provides clear cases of ecologically based population divergence. In most cases the mechanisms permitting rapid differentiation are not well known. Here we study morphological and genetic variation associated with recent shifts by the Australian soapberry bugLeptocoris ...
