Molecular phylogeny of the tribe Luciini (Lepidoptera: Lycaenidae): systematics and life history evolution

Systematic Entomology, Volume 50, Issue 3, Page 519-539, July 2025.
Phylogeny of the butterfly tribe Luciini showing Bayesian chronogram of evolution inferred with BEAST 1.10.4 and new monotypic genus Paradipsas Braby, gen. nov. Luciini are obligatorily associated with ants. Ant associations (subfamily and genus) with larvae of each butterfly species are indicated by tip circle colours. Ant attendance appears to be the

Review of larval food plant associations of the Agaristinae (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) in Australia

Austral Entomology, Volume 64, Issue 2, May 2025.
Abstract The Australian Agaristinae comprises a small group of predominantly diurnal moths with aposematic larvae and adults that are assumed to be unpalatable to most predators. A critical review of the larval food plants of this subfamily based on published records in the literature, together with unpublished records, is presented.

A New Extrafloral Nectary-Bearing Plant Species in the Brazilian Savanna and its Associated Ant Community: Nectary Structure, Nectar Production and Ecological Interactions

Sociobiology, 2017
Brazilian Savanna stands out for the large number of species with extrafloral nectaries (EFNs) with high morphological diversity. In Smilax polyantha (Smilacaceae), the base of the petiole showed a slight secretion and great visitation by ants suggesting

Impact of Anthropogenic Pollution on the Plant Species Diversity and Composition Along the Riparian Ecotones of Goa's Sal and Zuari Rivers

Plant-Environment Interactions, Volume 6, Issue 2, April 2025.
ABSTRACT Anthropogenic pressures are increasingly constraining the health of riparian ecosystems by exposing their remnant vegetation to edge effects. Despite being at the land–water interface, conservation efforts have often overlooked how water pollution may indirectly exacerbate the broader impacts of anthropogenic pressures on riparian vegetation ...

Antioxidant and allelopathic activities of Smilax brasiliensis Sprengel (Smilacaceae)

South African Journal of Botany, 2017
Abstract Ethanol extract and fractions obtained from leaves of Smilax brasiliensis Sprengel were examined in order to determine their total phenolic and flavonoid contents, as well as antioxidant and allelopathic activities. Analysis by thin-layer chromatography suggested the presence of rutin in the ethanol extract and in the ethyl acetate and ...
