Antidiabetic and antihyperlipidemic effects of <i>Argyreia pierreana</i> and <i>Matelea denticulata</i>: Higher activity of the micellar nanoformulation over the crude extract. [PDF]
J Tradit Complement Med, 2021 Herbal medicine combined with nanotechnology is widely proposed to improve the oral bioavailability, reduce the required dose and side effects, and improve the pharmacological efficacy of extracts. Thus, this study evaluated the in vivo antidiabetic and antihyperlipidemic activities of ethanolic leaf extracts of Argyreia pierreana (AP) and Matelea ...

Tetraopes Milkweed Beetle Genomes Elucidate the Adaptive Basis of a Temperate Coevolutionary Radiation [PDF]
Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 3, April 2026.ABSTRACT The coevolutionary radiation of 27 species of Tetraopes longhorned beetles and their Asclepias milkweed hosts represents a classic example of adaptive evolution driven by plant chemical defences and herbivore counteradaptations. Investigations to date, however, have focused on a single species, Tetraopes tetrophthalmus, which feeds on the ...

Seeing the wood despite the trees: Exploring human disturbance impact on plant diversity, community structure, and standing biomass in fragmented high Andean forests [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 11, Issue 5, Page 2110-2172, March 2021., 2021 High Andean forests play a key role in providing ecosystem services for neighboring urban settlements. Here, we aimed to identify and understand the effects of anthropogenic perturbations on diversity, composition, and structure of plant communities, as well as aboveground biomass in high Andean forest remnants in the hinterland of Bogotá.

Environmental heterogeneity influences liana community differentiation across a Neotropical rainforest landscape [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 3, March 2024.By analyzing liana community variation among land units (LUs) that differ in geomorphology and soil properties along a 640‐ha tropical rainforest landscape in a neotropical reserve, we found strong evidence supporting our hypothesis that environmental heterogeneity, as represented by discrete LUs, promotes differentiation in liana composition across ...
