In silico molecular studies of antiophidic properties of the amazonian tree Cordia nodosa Lam [PDF]

Molecules, 2019
We carried out surveys on the use of Cordia nodosa Lam. in the jungles of Bobonaza (Ecuador). We documented this knowledge to prevent its loss under the Framework of the Convention on Biological Diversity and the Nagoya Protocol.

Mutualistic interactions between ants and fungi: A review. [PDF]

Ecol Evol, 2023
We review the mutualistic interactions between ants and fungi. Neotropical myrmicine Attina cultivate Basidiomycota for food, the same being true for certain “plant‐ants” associated with myrmecophytes that also feed on Ascomycota fungi. Otherwise, these Ascomycota have antibacterial properties.

Ant Diversity and Stratification in an Amazonian Rainforest. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
We examined the three strata of an Amazonian rainforest (e.g., the ground and leaf litter, understory and canopy) using only two sampling techniques and analyzed their functional traits. We identified 494 ant species from 10 subfamilies and 77 genera over ≈3.0 ha, showing that they are species rich and abundant, particularly at ground level.

Foraging by predatory ants: A review. [PDF]

Insect Sci
This review focuses on ecological and behavioral characteristics of foraging in ants showing the wide diversity of cases. Most ants can feed on sugary substances, but some ground‐nesting species are strict predators. Except army ants during the nomadic phase, they are central‐place foragers that can recruit nestmates when necessary. They prey mostly on

Pest categorisation of Morganella longispina. [PDF]

EFSA J
Abstract Following the commodity risk assessment of Acer palmatum plants grafted on Acer davidii from China, in which Morganella longispina (Hemiptera: Diaspididae) was identified as a pest of possible concern, the European Commission requested the EFSA Panel on Plant Health to conduct a pest categorisation of M.

Biologia floral e visitantes de Cordia nodosa: uma espécie com dimorfismo estilar na Amazônia

Boletim do Museu Paraense Emílio Goeldi - Ciências Naturais, 2014
As angiospermas apresentam estratégias que promovem o fluxo gênico, como a heterostilia, com diferenças na altura do estilete e estames entre indivíduos. Variações nos sistemas distílicos são descritos e causam discussão, pois envolvem questões evolutivas.

Plant Killing by Mutualistic Ants Increases the Density of Host Species Seedlings in the Dry Forest of Costa Rica

Psyche: A Journal of Entomology, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012
Some species of plant‐mutualistic ants kill the vegetation growing in the vicinities of their host plant, creating an area of bare ground (clearing). The reduced competition in the clearing may facilitate the establishment of host species sprouts (clones and seedlings), which in turn benefits the ants with additional food and shelter (“sprout ...

Anti‐Inflammatory Activity of Compounds Isolated from Plants

The Scientific World Journal, Volume 1, Issue 2, Page 713-784, 2001., 2001
This review shows over 300 compounds isolated and identified from plants that previously demonstrated anti‐inflammatory activity. They have been classified in appropriate chemical groups and data are reported on their pharmacological effects, mechanisms of action, and other properties.
