Litter Dynamics and Nutrient Stocks in a Chronosequence of Hyperxerophilous Forest Under the Effect of Clear Felling. [PDF]
Ecol EvolWe investigated litter accumulation and nutrient stocks across a forest regeneration chronosequence in hyperxerophilous Caatinga following clear‐cutting. Using multivariate statistics and structural decomposition indices, we identified functional litter profiles and their association with nutrient cycling and soil resilience. Our findings highlight how

Myracrodruon urundeuva seed exudates proteome and anthelmintic activity against Haemonchus contortus. [PDF]
PLoS One, 2018 Seed exudates are plant-derived natural bioactive compounds consisting of a complex mixture of organic and inorganic molecules. Plant seed exudates have been poorly studied against parasite nematodes. This study was undertaken to identify proteins in the Myracrodruon urundeuva seed exudates and to assess the anthelmintic activity against Haemonchus ...

Modeling the current and future habitat suitability of Neltuma pallida in the dry forest of northern Peru under climate change scenarios to 2100. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThe objective of this research was to evaluate the current and future distribution and conservation status of Neltuma pallida in the Peruvian dry forest under climate change scenarios over the last few years. The findings indicated that the likely range of habitats for N. pallida was shaped by factors such as the average temperature of wettest quarter,

Mutation of Cultural Information on the Use of Plant Complexes in Local Medical Systems. [PDF]
Evid Based Complement Alternat Med, 2020 Despite being an affable strategy of adaptive expectation, the transmission of cultural information can result in unintended changes in the information. This is known as “mutation” in the theory of cultural evolution. The occurrence of information mutations in local medical systems may be greater in some situations.

Physiologia Plantarum, Volume 175, Issue 6, November/December 2023., 2023 Abstract Studies on the relationship between Handroanthus serratifolius and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are limited in the literature. The influence of AMF spore density on plant development is fundamental information to determining the degree of benefits in this relationship. Therefore, the objective of this study was to investigate the effects

In vitro shoot regeneration in Myracrodruon urundeuva Fr. All
Pesquisa Agropecuária Tropical, 2021 ABSTRACT Myracrodruon urundeuva Fr. All. is a tree threatened with extinction, which has wood and medicinal potential. This study aimed to analyze the in vitro shoot regeneration in M. urundeuva, in order to increase the species multiplication. Two experiments were conducted: 1) concentrations of 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP) (0.0, 2.0, 4.0, 8.0 and 16.0 ...

Phylogenetic distance controls plant growth during early restoration of a semi‐arid riparian forest
Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 3, Issue 4, October–December 2022., 2022 Increased phylogenetic diversity but not species richness promoted plant growth during the restoration of a semi‐arid riparian forest in NE Brazil. Such an effect was mediated by the proximity of the plants with the watercourse, indicating the importance of differences in resource use among plants.

BioMed Research International, Volume 2022, Issue 1, 2022., 2022 Periodontitis, a highly prevalent multicausal chronic inflammatory and destructive disease, develops as a result of complex host‐parasite interactions. Dysbiotic bacterial biofilm in contact with the gingival tissues initiates a cascade of inflammatory events, mediated and modulated by the host’s immune response, which is characterized by increased ...

Germination patterns and seedling growth of congeneric native and invasive Mimosa species: Implications for risk assessment. [PDF]
Ecol EvolComparing the traits of congeneric native and invasive plants provides insights on the invasiveness of the introduced species. We compared germination pattern and seedling growth vigor of native Mimosa himalayana and invasive M. diplotricha which are sympatrically occurring in southeastern Nepal.
