Regioselective Oxidative Phenol Coupling by a Mushroom Unspecific Peroxygenase
The phlegmacin biosynthesis in the mushroom Cortinarius odorifer reveals that CoUPO1, an unspecific peroxygenase, catalyzes the dimerization step by regio‐ and stereoselective oxidative phenol coupling. This study demonstrates that mushrooms evolved aryl coupling independently of any other group of organisms.

The specialised buzz pollination syndrome poses a partial barrier to plant invasions
We found that plants that exhibit traits consistent with the buzz‐pollination syndrome are underrepresented as invasive species across the globe. Our result suggests that the specialist buzz‐pollination syndrome poses a partial barrier to plant invasions. Our review also highlighted six alternative insect behaviours that can enable invasive plants with

Biomonitoramento de abelhas euglossina (Apidae, Hymenoptera) em um SAF com castanheira-do-brasil (Bertholletia excelsa Bonpl., Lecythidaceae) em Tomé-Açu, Pará. [PDF]
A castanha-do-brasil (Bertholletia excelsa) é uma planta nativa da Amazônia e uma das mais importantes espécies de exploração extrativista do Brasil. É uma espécie melitófila, polinizada por abelhas de grande porte, como os Euglossina dos gêneros Eulaema

La arquitectura de nidos de Euglossa (Euglossa) hemichlora (Hymenoptera: Apidae: Euglossini)
La información sobre la biología de nidificación de las abejas de las orquídeas es escasa debido a la gran dificultad para encontrar sus nidos. Se presentan observaciones y comentarios sobre la arquitectura de los nidos de Euglossa hemichlora obtenidos a partir de nidos trampa a la vez que se presentan datos de la biología de nidificación de esta ...
