Habitat use and diet of endangered southern river otter Lontra provocax in a predominantly palustrine wetland in Chile

Wildlife Biology, Volume 14, Issue 2, Page 211-220, June 2008., 2008
Abstract The southern river otter Lontra provocax is an endangered species. It has a patchy distribution in southern Chile and Argentina, inhabiting both freshwater and marine habitats. While most studies of their diet and habitat use have been carried out in freshwater habitats, our study is the first one on these aspects in a predominantly palustrine

Chemical composition and mosquitocidal potential of Gloriosa superba (flame lily) seed extract against the dengue mosquito Aedes aegypti and aquatic mosquito predators

Entomological Research, Volume 54, Issue 9, September 2024.
Abstract This study investigates the mosquitocidal potential of crude petroleum ether extract fractions derived from Gloriosa superba against the dengue mosquito vector Aedes aegypti. Chemical profiling through gas chromatography identified four major metabolites, with nonadecane showing the highest peak area percentage (70.34%).
