Cytotoxic Dihydroagarofuran Sesquiterpenoids Isolated From the Roots of Tripterygium wilfordii
Chemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 23, Issue 10, October 2026.Ten undescribed dihydro‐β‐agarofuran derivatives were isolated from the roots of Tripterygium wilfordii. Their structures, including absolute configurations were elucidated by NMR, CD exciton chirality, ECD calculation, and single‐crystal x‐ray diffraction.

Lianas suppress tree regeneration and diversity in treefall gaps [PDF]
, 2010 Treefall gaps are hypothesized to maintain diversity by creating resource‐rich, heterogeneous habitats necessary for species coexistence. This hypothesis, however, is not supported empirically for shade‐tolerant trees, the dominant plant group in ...

Chemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 23, Issue 10, October 2026.A β‐CD‐based monolith was prepared and used as solid‐phase extraction adsorbent for on‐line enrichment of compounds from Ficus tikoua Bur. Various fractions with different molecular sizes and polarities were obtained and anti‐inflammatory activity evaluations were conducted. The active ingredient against rheumatoid arthritis was screened out by further

Hydraulic architecture of lianas in a semiarid climate: efficiency or safety?
Acta Botânica Brasílica, 2015 Xylem anatomical traits can provide insights regarding the mechanisms affecting the distribution of vascular plants across environmental gradients. In this study, we aimed to investigate the hypothesis that lianas occurring in semiarid environments have ...

On censusing lianas: a review of common methodologies.
, 2005 Methodologically, the study of lianas is currently in disarray, as researchers are trying to determine the most appropriate ways to census lianas. Stem measurement location, the decision to include or exclude ramets, plot shape, and the criteria of what ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 10, October 2026.Evidence supporting diplochorous seed dispersal of Rafflesiaceae species is presented. Rodents and treeshrews ingest fruit and act as primary dispersers. Dung beetles subsequently burry and disassemble seed‐laden faecal pellets, potentially placing seeds in close proximity to the roots of host Tetrastigma lianas.

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 10, October 2026.We revealed strong scale‐dependent divergence in the ecological drivers shaping Hainan gibbon distribution. Population‐level patterns were primarily constrained by macro‐environmental factors, whereas group‐level activity differed markedly between family groups in response to fine‐scale habitat features.

Unpacking the drivers of gut‐passage times of seeds dispersed by frugivorous lemurs
Ecology, Volume 107, Issue 10, October 2026.Abstract The impacts of endozoochory on plant populations are primarily determined by how seeds are processed in animal guts. Therefore, understanding the factors that determine how long seeds remain in the gut is crucial for predicting the outcomes of animal‐mediated seed dispersal.
