Genetic Differentiation of Fitness-Associated Traits Among Rapidly Evolving Populations of the Soapberry Bug [PDF]
In this study we used reciprocal rearing experiments to test the hypothesis that there is a genetic basis for the adaptive differences in host-use traits among host-associated soapberry bug populations (described in Carroll and Boyd 1992). These experiments were conducted on two host races from Florida, in which differences in beak length and ...

Natural selection and maladaptive plasticity in the red-shouldered soapberry bug [PDF]
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

Yeast Polarity: Negative Feedback Shifts the Focus [PDF]
A new study of Cdc42p polarization in yeast suggests that the actin cytoskeleton can destabilize the polarity axis, causing Cdc42p foci to wander aimlessly around the cell ...

Coexistence of coinvading species with mutualism and competition
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).

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 ...

Abstract Dust is a mineral aerosol of the atmosphere that often contains trace elements such as As, Cd, and Pb. Lhù’ààn Mân’ (Kluane Lake), located in southwestern Yukon, is a region of frequent dust activity. In 2016, the lake level fell due to a dramatic decrease in inflow from glacier meltwater, and the delta of the lake became an important source ...

Opening a Window to Evolution: David Angelini’s research on genetic adaptation gets push from McVey Data Science Initiative [PDF]
Most people think of soapberry bugs as little more than a nuisance, if they think of them at all. Found across much of the southeastern United States, the oblong insect is harmless to humans and likes to hang out on plants native to the soapberry family,

Somatic embryogenesis in leaf tissue culture of Soapberry (Sapindus mukorossi Gaertn.)
Leaf explants formed embryogenic calluses at a frequency of 53.9% when cultured on B5 media supplemented with 0.1 mg l 1 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4- ) and 0.01 mg l 1 6-benzyladenine (BA) for 6 weeks. Upon transfer onto media with 5 mg l 1 abscisic acid, embryogenic calluses yielded somatic embryos at 73%.
