Underestimating the toxicological challenges associated with the use of herbal medicinal products in developing countries. [PDF]

Biomed Res Int, 2013
Various reports suggest a high contemporaneous prevalence of herb‐drug use in both developed and developing countries. The World Health Organisation indicates that 80% of the Asian and African populations rely on traditional medicine as the primary method for their health care needs.

Does tenure influence sustainable use? The ecological impacts of harvesting baobab (Adansonia digitata)

African Journal of Ecology, Volume 60, Issue 4, Page 1246-1256, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Using the lens of the baobab tree, this paper explores the ecological outcomes of different tenurial arrangements and implications for resource sustainability. With the emergence of markets for baobab products, a central concern is to confirm whether use patterns differ across different tenure regimes and, if so, their ecological outcomes. The

Spatial turnover of fungi and partner choice shape mycorrhizal networks in epiphytic orchids

Journal of Ecology, Volume 110, Issue 11, Page 2568-2584, November 2022., 2022
Tropical tree barks can host dense colonies of epiphytic orchids of varying species and growth stages. We showed that these orchids, illustrated here by a small colony of Angraecum pectinatum in the study area, can share their fungi, forming complex mycorrhizal networks in the epiphytic habitat.

Effects of genetic origin on phenotypic divergence in Brook Trout populations stocked with domestic fish

Ecosphere, Volume 11, Issue 5, May 2020., 2020
Abstract Phenotypic changes due to human activities are occurring at a far greater speed than those originating from natural causes in animal populations. For instance, phenotypic divergence among individuals may arise in populations supplemented with farm‐reared fish that are known to display different phenotypes from those of wild individuals because

Stocking impacts the expression of candidate genes and physiological condition in introgressed brook charr (Salvelinus fontinalis) populations

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 6, Issue 2, Page 393-407, February 2013., 2013
Abstract Translocation of plants and animal populations between environments is one of the major forms of anthropogenic perturbation experienced by pristine populations, and consequently, human‐mediated hybridization by stocking practices between wild and exogenous conspecifics is of increasing concern.

Dynamic mesh for TCAD modeling with ECORCE

, 2016
Mesh generation for TCAD modeling is challenging. Because densities of carriers can change by several orders of magnitude in thin areas, a significant change of the solution can be observed for two very similar meshes. The mesh must be defined at best to

In‐vivo pilot study to assess a new plant‐based cosmetic formulation containing Ziziphus joazeiro bark extract and Apium graveolens seed extract for the improvement of dandruff while enhancing scalp microbiome balance and barrier function in subjects with oily to dry sensitive scalps

International Journal of Cosmetic Science, Volume 48, Issue 1, Page 51-69, February 2026.
This study comprising dermatological as well as microbiome analysis indicates that mild‐to‐moderate dandruff symptoms can successfully be reduced with a plant‐based shampoo by restoring the bacterial scalp microbiome balance, suggesting a ‘microbiome‐friendly’ formulation tolerated excellently for oily scalp and sensitive scalp.

Snake and Moon ‘Right Way Marriage’ Stories on Stone and Bark

Archaeology in Oceania, Volume 60, Issue 2, Page 78-86, July 2025.
ABSTRACT In northwest Australia, boab trees hold significant cultural values for First Nations people. Their leaves, bark, roots and nuts are important as traditional resources for food, medicine, fibre, water and shade and serve as reference points in the landscape. Some of the tree trunks are inscribed with images and symbols which tell of events and
