South African Journal of Botany, 2017 Abstract Changes in fatty acid profile, lipid quality, essential oil composition, total phenolic (TPC) and flavonoid (TFC) contents, radical scavenging, antibacterial and insecticidal activities were studied during the maturation of Schinus terebinthifolius Raddi fruits. Total lipids showed their maximum at the earlier and intermediate stage (green

Effects of Rufous-Backed Robin ( Turdus rufopalliatus ) on Brazilian Pepper-Tree ( Schinus terebinthifolius ) Seed Germination and Dispersal in a Subtropical Peri-Urban Environment [PDF]
Tropical Conservation Science, 2018 Alien invasive species pose a major threat to socioecological systems worldwide. Native avian frugivores may enhance the dispersal and germination success of exotic plants introduced for ornamental motives. In this study, we investigated the role of the native Rufous-backed Robin ( Turdus rufopalliatus) as a potential dispersal agent of the worldwide ...

Water Management for Schinus terebinthifolius Raddi Seedlings in Degradable Containers
Floresta e Ambiente, 2018 The research consisted of two experiments (64 and 85-day production cycles), applying three irrigation depths (8, 11 and 14 mm) to determine the most appropriate depth, using Ellepot™ degradable containers for the production of Schinus terebinthifolius ...

South African Journal of Botany, 2018 Abstract Biological invasions are a major threat to biodiversity in most parts of the world. The success of invasive fleshy fruiting plants is linked to the role of native avian frugivores. By ingesting and excreting/regurgitating viable seeds, avian frugivores are able to promote germination and disperse the seeds of these invasive fleshy fruiting ...

The continuing significance of chiral agrochemicals
Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 4, Page 1697-1716, April 2025.In the time frame 2018–2023, around 43% of the 35 chiral agrochemicals introduced to the market (herbicides, fungicides, insecticides, acaricides, and nematicides) contain one or more stereogenic centers in the molecule, and almost 69% of them have been marketed as racemic mixtures of enantiomers or stereoisomers.

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Invasive species can fundamentally alter their introduced habitats by changing natural processes and harming native species crucial to functional ecosystems and human needs. Although the number of potential invasive species is large, the suitability of novel locations to support population establishment is limited by both physical and ...

Zoo Biology, EarlyView.Betsiboka, a female red ruffed lemur (Varecia rubra) eating Carolina redroot in the Tower forest. ABSTRACT Lemurs are severely threatened due to anthropogenic habitat loss and climate change. Therefore, understanding how lemurs adapt their diets to novel habitats is critically important for maintaining healthy wild populations and effectively managing ...

Assessing the host plants of the invasive apricot aphid, Myzus mumecola (Hemiptera: Aphididae)
Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.We investigated the host plants of the invasive apricot aphid Myzus mumecola (Hemiptera: Aphididae), an emerging pest species in Europe, by combining molecular and ecological approaches. The winter host plant was confirmed as apricot by both methods.
