Feeding behaviour of bats and the dispersal of Piper arboreum seeds in Brazil
Journal of Tropical Ecology, 1998 Phyllostomide bats are the most important consumers of Piper fruits in the Neotropics (Heithaus et al. 1975) and, in particular, Carollia perspicillata and Glossophaga soricina are the species which demonstrate distinct preferences for these fruits (Charles-Dominique 1991, Fleming 1981, Fleming et al. 1977, Marinho-Filho 1991, Palmeirim el al.

Journal of Plant Studies, 2016 Galling insects commonly change the chemical profile of their host plant tissues during gall induction and establishment. As a consequence, galls accumulate a wide range of metabolites in specialized cells, which may be organized in a nutritive tissue and in outer storage cells.

Stratified sampling enhances the understanding of bat–fruit networks in the southern Atlantic Forest
Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 6, June 2026.Few studies have sought to understand the vertical patterns of bat–fruit systems, and therefore, it is not possible to evaluate whether interpretations based on data collected from a single stratum adequately represent the interaction patterns of this system. In this context, we evaluated the dissimilarity in the assemblage of frugivorous bats, plants,

Crop Science, Volume 59, Issue 2, Page 553-564, March–April 2019., 2019 Plants have evolved complex molecular, cellular, and physiological mechanisms to respond to environmental stressors. Genetic manipulationhas represented an important potential method for improving water deficit tolerance in crops. Aldehyde dehydrogenases are involved in cellular responses to oxidative stress to protect against a variety of ...

Novel Approach to Classify Plants Based on Metabolite‐Content Similarity
BioMed Research International, Volume 2017, Issue 1, 2017., 2017 Secondary metabolites are bioactive substances with diverse chemical structures. Depending on the ecological environment within which they are living, higher plants use different combinations of secondary metabolites for adaptation (e.g., defense against attacks by herbivores or pathogenic microbes).

Herpetofauna Richness, Diversity, and Occurrence at the Northern Ecotone of Longleaf Pine
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 9, September 2025.The longleaf pine ecosystem is recognized for its value in providing habitat to a variety of specialist and endemic species, especially herpetofauna; however, at the northernmost ecotone of longleaf pine (in southeastern Virginia) little is known about the denizen reptiles and amphibians.
