Intestinal antispasmodic effects of three Argentinian plants: Hypericum connatum, Berberis ruscifolia and Cecropia pachystachya: mechanisms of action and comparison with the effects of Brugmansia arborea

, 2016
Some medicinal plants are used in Argentina to reduce gastrointestinal symptoms as antispasmodics, but notall these effects were validated. This work studied the effects of three native plants as the ethanolic tinctures(T) of Hypericum connatum and Berberis ruscifolia, as well as the acqueous crude extracts (A.c.e) of Cecropiapachystachya, and compared

Natural history notes on worker size, colony size, and nest structure of Azteca muelleri Emery, 1893 (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) in Cecropia glaziovii (Rosales: Urticaceae) from the Atlantic Forest

Entomological Communications, 2021
Mutualistic association between Azteca Forel, 1878 ants and Cecropia Loefl. plants are one of the most studied interactions in Neotropics, however, natural history studies of Azteca species still poorly investigated due to the great effort required to ...

Serjanic Acid Improves Immunometabolic Markers in a Diet-Induced Obesity Mouse Model

Molecules, 2020
Plant extracts from Cecropia genus have been used by Latin-American traditional medicine to treat metabolic disorders and diabetes. Previous reports have shown that roots of Cecropia telenitida that contains serjanic acid are one of the most prominent ...

The dear enemy effect drives conspecific aggressiveness in an Azteca-Cecropia system

Scientific Reports, 2021
Territoriality is costly, and the accurate identification of intruders and the decision to perform aggressive responses are key behavioral traits in social animals. We studied aggression among individuals belonging to close and distant nests of the plant-

Caterpillars and fungal pathogens: two co-occurring parasites of an ant-plant mutualism. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
In mutualisms, each interacting species obtains resources from its partner that it would obtain less efficiently if alone, and so derives a net fitness benefit.
