Local species‐specific effect of trees and shrubs on the incidence of the millet head miner, Heliocheilus albipunctella (Lepidoptera, Noctuidae)

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 28, Issue 1, Page 38-48, February 2026.
Abstract Understanding the interactions between crop pests, natural enemies and semi‐natural habitats in agricultural landscapes is crucial for developing ecology‐based pest management in agroecosystems. In the present study, we investigated the local‐scale species‐specific effect of tree and shrub cover and diversity on the incidence and natural pest ...

Evaluation of soapberry (Sapindus saponaria L.) leaf extract against papaya anthracnose

, 2018
Chemical fungicides provide the primary means to control fungal infection in fruits and vegetables in the postharvest. Exploitation of natural products to control decay and prolong the storage life of perishables has received more attention.

Eco‐Friendly Synthesis of Silver Nanoparticles Using Sapindus mukorossi Extract With Antibacterial and Photocatalytic Activities

Scientifica, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Green synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) offers an eco‐friendly approach for developing multifunctional nanomaterials. In this study, AgNPs were synthesized using Sapindus mukorossi fruit extract as both reducing and stabilizing agents. UV–visible spectroscopy showed a characteristic surface plasmon resonance peak at ∼430 nm, while X‐ray ...

Harbingers of change: Towards a mechanistic understanding of anticipatory plasticity in animal systems

Functional Ecology, Volume 39, Issue 11, Page 2999-3020, November 2025.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Phenotypic plasticity is a strategy by which animals alter behaviour, morphology and/or physiology in response to cues of current conditions to cope with environmental heterogeneity.

What do we know about insect responses to global change? A review of meta‐analyses on global change drivers

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 18, Issue 6, Page 900-916, November 2025.
We reviewed 75 meta‐analyses examining the effects of global change stressors on insects. We found that most global change stressors harm insects, with pesticides having the highest proportion of negative effects. Global change more frequently caused harm to higher trophic levels and beneficial insects, whereas herbivores were less often harmed.

Germination of Western Soapberry as Affected by Scarification and Stratification

HortScience, 1984
Abstract Western soapberry (Sapindus drummondii Hook & Arn.) seeds were collected in Sept. 1982 and scarified with acid or hot water, or treated by freezing. The seeds were sown immediately or after cold-moist stratification for 90 days.

Coexistence of coinvading species with mutualism and competition

Ecology, Volume 106, Issue 2, February 2025.
Abstract All interactions between multiple species invading together (coinvasion) must be accounted for to predict species coexistence patterns across space. Mutualisms, particularly, are known to influence species' population dynamics and their invasive ability (e.g., mycorrhizal fungi with partner plants).

Climate and land‐use change impacts on cultural use berries: Considerations for mitigative stewardship

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 6, Issue 4, Page 791-802, July 2024.
Cultural use berries are prized foods and medicines across the United States and Canada, with almost 200 different species used by Indigenous Peoples. Berries are increasingly being impacted by environmental and land‐use change. Berry habitats, how and when berry plants reproduce, and the volume of berries available for harvest each year are shifting ...
