The Light Bite: Red‐Nosed Cuxiu (Chiropotes albinasus, Primates) Exploit Differential Penetrability of Hard Fruit Husks When Selecting Dental Puncture Sites

Biotropica, Volume 57, Issue 6, November 2025.
Red‐nosed cuxiu are specialists in unripe seeds of hard‐husked fruits, which they access with massive jaw muscles and enlarged canines. But this costs energy and risks tooth breakage. The monkeys reduce both by biting at the softest spots on the fruit surface.

Potential Therapeutic Actions of Flavonoids Present in Propolis That Modulate Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Signaling to Regulate Angiogenesis

Phytotherapy Research, Volume 39, Issue 9, Page 4230-4246, September 2025.
ABSTRACT Propolis is a plant‐derived substance collected by honeybees that has a range of potential therapeutic applications. Propolis consists of resins, waxes, and fatty acids, as well as essential oils and other organic compounds. The pharmacologically active components of propolis include phenols and flavonoids, among others.

Leaf litter identity rather than diversity shapes microbial functions and microarthropod abundance in tropical montane rainforests

Ecology and Evolution, 2021
In tropical forest ecosystems leaf litter from a large variety of species enters the decomposer system, however, the impact of leaf litter diversity on the abundance and activity of soil organisms during decomposition is little known. We investigated the

From waste to resource: Garlic peel‐derived proteases (Allium sativum) for nematode control

Environmental Progress &Sustainable Energy, Volume 44, Issue 4, July/August 2025.
Abstract This study aimed to prepare a protease‐rich extract from garlic peel (Allium sativum) and evaluate its nematicidal potential. The garlic peel was crushed, suspended in distilled water, and the obtained extract was subjected to filtration, centrifugation, and dialysis to concentrate the proteases. The nematicidal activity was tested in vitro on
