Howler monkey foraging ecology suggests convergent evolution of routine trichromacy as an adaptation for folivory

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 7, Issue 5, Page 1421-1434, March 2017., 2017
Primates possess remarkably variable color vision, and the ecological and social factors shaping this variation remain heavily debated. Here, we examine opsin genes, feeding behaviors, and reflectance of dietary foliage of wild mantled howler monkeys (Alouatta palliata).

Efficacy of Green and Chemically Synthesized Nano Boron Nitride on Sunflower Germination

Nano Select, Volume 6, Issue 3, March 2025.
The TEM shows thin sheets of green‐synthesized nano boron nitride, while structural analysis through powder x‐ray diffraction confirmed a hexagonal configuration of the nanoparticles. The green‐synthesized particle was responsible for improving the germination percentage compared to the chemically synthesized nano particle. ABSTRACT This study explores

The root of the problem: Direct influence of riparian vegetation on estimation of stream ecosystem metabolic rates

Limnology and Oceanography Letters, Volume 2, Issue 1, Page 9-17, February 2017., 2017
Abstract Abundant living roots can be found in some streams and other shallow marine and freshwater habitats. A reach of a small Brazilian forested stream had 28% cover by live roots and exhibited diurnal trends in dissolved oxygen that could be attributed to gross primary production, but we hypothesized that activity of riparian tree roots in the ...

UAV‐Based Land Surface Temperatures and Vegetation Indices Explain and Predict Spatial Patterns of Soil Water Isotopes in a Tropical Dry Forest

Water Resources Research, Volume 61, Issue 2, February 2025.
Graphical abstract illustrating the concept of isotopic enrichment of soil water depending on canopy status and plant type. Because of less shading provided, evaporative enrichment in areas without canopy cover is higher compared to areas with intermixed evergreen and leaf‐shedding trees and evergreen patches. E and T are Evaporation and Transpiration,

Development and characterization of lipid based solid dispersion of quassinoid enriched fraction of Simarouba glauca for enhanced lipid membrane permeability in MCF7 breast cancer cells

Next Nanotechnology
Introduction: Simarouba glauca leaves are rich in quassinoids, known for anticancer properties. This study aimed to develop a lipid-based solid dispersion of the quassinoid-enriched fraction (LBSD-QEF) to enhance permeability in MCF7 breast cancer cells.

Sub‐Saharan African Oilseeds as Functional Ingredients: Nutritional Profiles, Bioactivities, and Strategies for Enhanced Utilization in Food and Pharmaceutical Systems

Journal of Food Biochemistry, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Oilseeds native to sub‐Saharan Africa (SSA) represent a nutritionally and economically significant yet underutilized resource for enhancing food and nutrition security. This review synthesizes current knowledge on the nutritional composition, bioactive constituents, and processing technologies associated with indigenous SSA oilseeds, highlighting their

Plant‐Based Biosynthesis of Metal and Metal Oxide Nanoparticles: An Update on Antimicrobial and Anticancer Activity

ChemBioEng Reviews, Volume 11, Issue 6, December 2024.
When it comes to finding novel ways to battle newly developing pathogenic strains and illnesses, nanoparticles are the first line of defense. Plant‐based nanoparticles are showing more significance over chemically or physically synthesized nanoparticles. Several plant species and their constituent parts have found several applications in medicine. They

Water loss by transpiration and soil evaporation in coffee shaded by Tabebuia rosea Bertol. and Simarouba glauca DC. compared to unshaded coffee in sub-optimal environmental conditions. [PDF]

, 2018
There is increasing concern that due to land pressure and the need to maximize income, smallholder coffee farmers are increasingly being forced to cultivate in areas which are considered to be sub-optimal for coffee.
