ABSTRACT In this study, bioassay‐guided fractionation of the ethanolic extract from Eremanthus crotonoides leaves enabled the isolation of two bioactive sesquiterpene lactones, centratherin and goyazensolide, which were evaluated for their antimycobacterial and anti‐inflammatory properties.

ABSTRACT Gastric ulcers are common gastrointestinal lesions resulting from oxidative stress and inflammation. Artemisia herba‐alba, a medicinal plant with antioxidant and anti‐inflammatory properties, was evaluated for its curative effects against acetic acid‐induced gastric ulcers in Wistar rats. The aqueous leaf extract was characterized by LC‐MS and

Using DNA metabarcoding, we show that Tibetan yaks are highly selective foragers in the resource‐rich summer but switch to a diverse, generalist diet to survive the harsh winter. This flexible foraging strategy is driven by seasonal plant availability, providing strong support for optimal foraging theory and highlighting the critical need to protect ...

Unveiling the Dietary Selection of Lowland Tapirs (Tapirus terrestris) in a Tropical Rainforest
Large terrestrial herbivores, such as lowland tapirs (Tapirus terrestris) present many dietary ecological roles in their habitat. In this article, we investigated the diet of lowland tapirs in a tropical rainforest combining different techniques such as DNA metabarcoding, fieldwork, and plant functional traits.
