Isolated Cembranoid Diterpenes From Sarcophyton tenuispiculatum and Semi‑Synthetic Derivatives with Pro‑Apoptotic Activity in Breast Cancer Cells [PDF]

Chem Biodivers
New arylated cembranoid derivatives from Sarcophyton tenuispiculatum show enhanced antiproliferative activity against breast cancer cells. Chlorobenzocembrin induces apoptosis through ROS accumulation and caspase‐6 activation, suggesting that epoxide ring opening and C7 aryl substitution are key structural features for strengthening anticancer ...

Lights Out in the Canopy: Arboreal Camera Traps Offer New Insights Into Sleeping‐Site Partitioning and Sleep Ecology in Primate Communities

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 11, November 2026.
Using arboreal camera traps, we show that sleeping sites represent a shared but contested resource in a Brazilian Atlantic Forest primate community, and that spatiotemporal resource partitioning is driven by resource holding potential (RHP). Although syntopic primates relied on the same Copaifera trapezifolia trees as key sleeping sites, access ...
