A seven-month experiment quantified the effect of Leptoglossus phyllopus (leaffooted bug) host association on free-living Caballeronia bacteria populations in soil microcosms. The dataset, created by Bibek Singh Parajuli and last updated in April 2026, likely contains results from quantitative PCR measurements correlating bacterial abundance with bug density. The 66.1 KB dataset is available in TXT, R, and CSV formats under a CC-BY-4.0 license.
Use Cases
- Modeling bacterial population growth in soil based on insect host presence mentioned in the description
- Analyzing the correlation between insect density and symbiotic microbe abundance described in the study
- Testing hypotheses about mutualism in decoupled host-microbe life cycles referenced in the description
Strengths
- Experimental data collected over a defined seven-month period
- Dataset is small (66.1 KB), facilitating quick download and inspection
- Published under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license allowing reuse and modification
Limitations
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
