The glandular hairs within the floral tube of Paederia foetida (Rubiaceae) and their influence on ant accessibility

Plant Species Biology, Volume 41, Issue 1, January 2026.
The glandular hairs in the floral tube of Paederia foetida has an effect on an ant's ability to enter a flower. Our results showed that trimming the glandular hairs increased the success rate of ants entering the floral tube. Abstract Hairs that grow on plant organs have been shown to play a variety of roles. Paederia foetida (Rubiaceae) is a perennial

Approach to the Interaction Studies of Aristolochia maxima and the Caterpillars of Butterflies Battus polydamas polydamas and Parides panares erythrus

Acta Biológica Colombiana, 2007
Most butterflies of the tribe Troidini (Lepidoptera: Papilionidae) sequester aristolochic acids (AA) for their protection. These acids are derived from their host plants -family Aristolochiaceae- upon which they feed on during their larval stages.

Molecular Mechanisms of Anti‐Inflammatory and Immunomodulatory Activities of Key Phytochemicals: A Comprehensive Review

Journal of Tropical Medicine, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Phytochemicals derived from medicinal plants represent a rich and largely underexploited source of anti‐inflammatory and immunomodulatory agents. Chronic inflammation and dysregulated immune responses underpin many tropical and global diseases, including infectious, autoimmune, and metabolic disorders. This review examines the spectrum of plant‐derived

The Hidden Diptera Diversity in Aristolochia Trap‐Flowers: Revealing the Identity of Pollinators Through Taxonomic Knowledge

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 149, Issue 10, Page 1502-1512, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Although Diptera is one of the most diverse insect orders with a high potential for pollinating plants, it remains poorly studied and neglected. This is partly due to limited taxonomic efforts in species identification. For instance, despite being primary pollinators of trap flowers, species‐level identification in these systems remains scarce.
