Novel food resources and conservation of ecological interactions between the Andean Araucaria and the Austral parakeet

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 12, Issue 10, October 2022., 2022
The results of this study show that the inter‐annual dependence of Austral parakeets on native habitats is influenced by the masting seed production strategy of Araucaria, a key species in the northern Patagonian Andes. Currently, this dependence seems to be largely modulated by disturbing factors promoting a feeding shift to exotic plants in anthropic

Trait functional diversity explains mixture effects on litter decomposition at the arid end of a climate gradient

Journal of Ecology, Volume 110, Issue 9, Page 2219-2231, September 2022., 2022
Litter mixing did not have strong effects on decomposition rates across the studied climatic gradient overall, and the direction and intensity of the mixture effects were context dependent. The effects were stronger and more negative in the dryer ecosystems.

Drimenol, isodrimeninol and polygodial isolated from Drimys winteri reduce monocyte adhesion to stimulated human endothelial cells.

Food and Chemical Toxicology, 2020
The vascular endothelium is a continuous monolayer of endothelial cells that are in direct contact with the blood and its dysfunction is the starting process in the development of many pathological inflammatory disorders, such as atherosclerosis, which ...

Drimys winteri and Isodrimeninol decreased foam cell formation in THP-1 derived macrophages.

Food and Chemical Toxicology, 2020
Early stages of atherosclerosis are characterizated for the uptake of oxidate low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL) by inflammatory macrophages in the arteries, promoting the foam cell formation.
