Alkaloid Constituents of Ficus hispida and Their Antiinflammatory Activity [PDF]

Natural Products and Bioprospecting, 2020
Four new alkaloids, ficuhismines A–D (1–4), together with three known ones, were isolated from Ficus hispida. Their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic analysis and chemical method.

The genetic structuring in pollinating wasps of Ficus hispida in continental Asia [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution, 2023
The interaction between figs and fig wasps provides a striking example of obligate brood site pollination mutualism. Monoecious figs, constituting independent radiations in each tropical biome, are present in significant proportions worldwide, but in ...

Hybridization and introgression between two fig trees with contrasting ecological preferences [PDF]

BMC Ecology and Evolution
Hybridization in plants with specialized pollination systems provides insights into the mechanisms of species boundary maintenance and breakdown. The significance of hybridization in the history of ecologically important fig trees is unclear.

Phylogenetic history shapes the composition of floral scents in a specialized pollination mutualism. [PDF]

New Phytol
Summary Most studies of the chemical ecology of plant–pollinator interactions emphasize the role of pollinator‐mediated selection in shaping floral scent composition. Nevertheless, phylogeny may constrain the metabolic pathways underlying these profiles, thereby influencing the evolutionary trajectory of the emitted signals.

Anti-obesity effects and underlying molecular mechanisms of the ethanolic extract of figs from Ficus hispida using high fat-fed wister rats [PDF]

Heliyon
Obesity is a known risk factor for many chronic diseases and a substantial threat to public health. We investigated the effects of figs sourced from Ficus hispida on a high fat-fed experimental rat model.

Behavioral Variability of Endangered Northern Pig-Tailed Macaques in a Degraded Mosaic Habitat in Northeast Bangladesh. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Macaca leonina in Bangladesh exhibit habitat‐, season‐, and sex–age–dependent behavioral variability. Food‐related activities (p < 0.001, multinomial regression, shown graph) were more likely in the plantation and feeding there declined in summer; adult males in the plantation were also less likely to play and groom.

Mechanistic insight into the antidiabetic effects of Ficus hispida fruits: Inhibition of intestinal glucose absorption and pancreatic beta-cell apoptosis. [PDF]

PLoS ONE
The worldwide health impact of Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is marked by the dysregulation of glucose metabolism caused by α-glucosidase-mediated carbohydrate degradation and pancreatic β-cell apoptosis through caspase-3 activation.

Ethnobotanical Study of Wild and Semi-Wild Edible Plants in Addi Arkay District, Northwestern Ethiopia. [PDF]

ScientificWorldJournal
The exploration of wild and semi‐wild edible plants (WEPs) has received global attention as valuable alternative food sources. This study explored and documented the indigenous knowledge of WEPs within the Addi Arkay District of Ethiopia. Ethnobotanical data were collected from 385 informants, including 355 general informants selected through ...
