Richness and Composition of Mycorrhizal Fungi Varies by Flood Level and River Basin in Oligotrophic Amazonian Seasonally Flooded Forests. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Conceptual representation of topographic gradients in Amazonian igapó forests. High, medium, and low igapós differ in elevation and flood duration, with low igapós experiencing the longest periods of inundation. Fungal mycelia and DNA symbols indicate sampling of root‐associated mycorrhizal communities across the gradient, used to assess the influence ...

A new tool to quantify biodiversity change under landscape transformation. [PDF]

Ecol Appl
Abstract Identifying how species richness or diversity changes with different proportions of natural and anthropized environments in the landscape is important for landscape management for conservation. Here, we propose a new method to assess biodiversity changes in landscapes with varying proportions of habitat types.

Cytotoxic and Apoptotic Activity of Majoranolide from Mezilaurus crassiramea on HL-60 Leukemia Cells. [PDF]

Evid Based Complement Alternat Med, 2019
Majoranolide, a butanolide isolated from the nonpolar fraction of an ethanol extract of Mezilaurus crassiramea (Lauraceae) fruits, is being reported for the first time in this genus and the third time in plants. Structurally identified from 1D and 2D NMR and HRESIMS data, majoranolide proved cytotoxic against cancer cells—MCF‐7 and MDA‐MB‐231 (breast),

What Factors Guide the Selection of Medicinal Plants in a Local Pharmacopoeia? A Case Study in a Rural Community from a Historically Transformed Atlantic Forest Landscape. [PDF]

Evid Based Complement Alternat Med, 2018
The criteria that local people use for selecting medicinal plants have been a recurrent topic in pharmacology and ethnobotany. Two of the current hypotheses regarding this phenomenon, ecological apparency and diversification, attempt to explain the inclusion of “apparent” and “non‐apparent” and native and exotic taxa, respectively, in local ...

Gender and Its Role in the Resilience of Local Medical Systems of the Fulni-ô People in NE Brazil: Effects on Structure and Functionality. [PDF]

Evid Based Complement Alternat Med, 2019
Ethnobotanical studies focused on understanding how local medical systems are functionally maintained suggest that utilitarian redundancy and knowledge transmission are factors that influence the resilience of the system. However, to date, there have not been any studies that analyze these factors in relation to the variables that influence the ...
