Recent shifts in flowering times are an index of, and a response to, human driven climate change. However, most information on these flowering changes is heavily skewed to the northern hemisphere. This imbalance limits our understanding of how climate change is affecting ecosystems, including the mismatches of flowering times between species, increased

Carbazole Alkaloids from Clausena anisum-olens: Isolation, Characterization, and Anti-HIV Evaluation
Two new carbazole alkaloids (1,2) and six known carbazole alkaloids (3−8) were isolated from Clausena anisum-olens. Their structures were elucidated based on extensive spectroscopic analysis.

Balancing tracks and trees: Assessing railroad impact on Brazilian biodiversity
The Brazilian West–East Integration Railway (FIOL) aims to boost the national economy by improving commodity transport; however, it crosses three of Brazil's most biodiverse and fragile regions: the Caatinga, Cerrado and Atlantic Forest. Using digitised plant records and land‐use analyses, our study reveals significant vegetation loss within the ...

This study examines how the fruits of non‐photosynthetic forest plants in the Monotropoideae (Ericaceae) have evolved into the diversity observed today. By analyzing four Asian species, we identified a shift from dry, dehiscent fruits that release seeds into the air to fleshy, berry‐like fruits adapted for animal dispersal.

Ethnobotanical survey of pesticidal plants used in South Uganda : case study of Masaka district [PDF]
Use of synthetic pesticides in developing countries is not only limited by their being expensive but also the small (uneconomic) fields whose limited production costs cannot offset costs of agricultural implements like agro-chemicals. Subsistence farmers,

Quinolones are valuable scaffolds for drug discovery but are rare in nature. Here, we show that two fungal enzymes, AthePKS and FerePKS, can generate 2‐quinolones and two additional heteroaromatic scaffolds. Using AthePKS, we designed an artificial enzymatic cascade towards an antimicrobial quinolone from a simple precursor and implemented it in E ...
