Ecological convergence in phytochemistry and flower–insect visitor interactions along an Andean elevation gradient

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 8, August 2023., 2023
In this study, we detected patterns of ecological convergence along elevation in floral volatiles as well as cost–benefit ratio in seed versus pollinated seeds. Our results suggest that these evolutionary patterns are the result of biotic and abiotic pressures.

Antioxidant and antimicrobial activity of two Costa Rican cultivars of ber (Ziziphus mauritiana): An underexploited crop in the American tropic

open access: yesFood Science &Nutrition, Volume 11, Issue 6, Page 3320-3328, June 2023., 2023
Ber has been cultivated in Asia for many years, and it has been introduced to the American tropic in recent years. We studied the characteristics and benefits of the cultivation of this fruit in Central America. We found out it produces higher antioxidant levels than many other reports, and also shows antimicrobial properties.

Structural and compositional dimensions of phytochemical diversity in the genus Piper reflect distinct ecological modes of action

open access: yesJournal of Ecology, Volume 110, Issue 1, Page 57-67, January 2022., 2022
Crude extract 1H NMR diversity synthesizes the compositional diversity and structural complexity of phytochemical mixtures. Plants can develop chemical diversity through different combinations of structural and compositional biosynthetic mechanisms; thus, methods incorporating both dimensions of phytochemical diversity can provide new theoretical ...

The color of greater flamingo feathers fades when no cosmetics are applied

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 11, Issue 20, Page 13773-13779, October 2021., 2021
Abstract Greater flamingos use cosmetic coloration by spreading uropygial secretions pigmented with carotenoids over their feathers, which makes the plumage redder. Because flamingos inhabit open environments that receive direct solar radiation during daytime, and carotenoids bleach when exposed to solar radiation, we expected that the plumage color ...
