Frost Decreases Fruit Production in a Neotropical Savanna: Implications for Frugivorous Bird Abundances

open access: yesBiotropica, Volume 58, Issue 3, May 2026.
Severe frost events seem to be happening on average every 5 years, rather than 7 years, as previously reported in the southern limit of the Cerrado, a Neotropical savanna. We conducted this study in the Cerrado, where severe frost events allowed us to compare fruit production and frugivorous bird abundance before and after the disturbance.

Optimal Conditions for Bromelain Extraction from Pineapple Fruit (Ananas comosus)

open access: yesEngineering and Technology Journal, 2016
Bromelain is a cysteine protease which is found in the tissues of Bromeliacea plant family of which pineapple Ananas cosmossus is best known. The investigated parameters for optimal Brome-lain extraction are optimum buffers, pH, Molarity, time, and amounts of husk free pineapple fruit to volume (ml) of buffer ratio. Sodium phosphate was best buffer for

Preliminary assessment of the antiproliferative potential of Ananas comosus (pineapple) fruit juice

open access: yesJournal of HerbMed Pharmacology, 2016
Introduction: Cancer is a complex genetic ailment and a significant public health disease. Reports have shown that about 30%–40% of all cancers can be prevented by lifestyle and dietary procedures alone. This study was aimed to evaluate the anti-proliferative effect of Ananas comosus fruit juice on rapidly proliferating cells.Methods: The study was ...

Potential of Agricultural Plantations and Orchards to Support Understory Forest Bird Diversity in Southeast Asia

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
This study assessed the potential of monoculture oil palm and rubber tree plantations, as well as polyculture orchards, to support understory bird diversity compared to forest reserves using mist‐netting. Orchards recorded the highest bird abundance and richness among agricultural lands, but all agricultural lands had less than half the understory bird

Effect of gibberellic acid and urea on the growth of pineapple fruit (Ananas comosus (L.) Merr.)

open access: yesScience and Technology Development Journal - Natural Sciences, 2019
Effects of gibberellic acid (GA3) and urea on Queen pineapples (Ananas comosus (L.) Merr.) growth in the field were discussed in this study. Pineapples were sprayed with GA3 (at the concentration of 1, 5, 10, 20, 40, 60, 80 and 100 mg.L-1) or urea (at the concentration of 1, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30 g.L-1) on day 0 and day 3 at the beginning of growth ...
