Picking pithy plants: Pith selectivity by wild white‐faced capuchin monkeys, Cebus imitator

American Journal of Primatology, Volume 87, Issue 1, January 2025.
“When and why do white‐faced capuchins eat plant pith? We investigated how ecological variables and plant traits shape patterns of pith consumption. We find that pith foraging occurs primarily during seasonal transitions, and that dietary pith species contain relatively more pith, are softer, and have a different odor profile than non‐dietary species.“

Spondias mombin, a potential bioindicator of potassium fluoride pollution

Ecological Indicators, 2020
Abstract Ecological contamination by air pollutants is a worldwide problem. Fluoride-based compounds are released in large proportions into the atmosphere, soil and water from various industrial sources. These compounds are more phytotoxic to various plants than are other pollutants. The objective of this work was to determine the effects of fluoride

Size Variability and Spatial Pattern in Neighbourhoods of Small and Large Trees in Elephant Camp Natural Forest of Omo Forest Reserve, Nigeria

International Journal of Forestry Research, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Competition represents the effect of distance and size of neighbouring trees. Relationship between distance and size differs due to spatial mixture of trees, and this may make no single tree size variable consistently related to distance. Hence, neighbourhood effect on trees due to competition is difficult to quantify.

Multiple Anthropogenic and Climatic Factors Drive Tree Species Attributes in Ecologically Distinct Sacred Groves in Ghana

International Journal of Forestry Research, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Sacred groves are rich biodiversity hotspots serving as an important habitat for conserving species and providing ecosystem goods and services to meet societal needs. Despite the benefits these sacred groves offer, they are threatened by anthropogenic stressors coupled with climate change impacts, thereby limiting their maximum ability to offer ...

Antibacterial Activity and Optimal Eco‐Friendly Synthesis of Silver Nanoparticles Derived From an Aloe vacillans Forsskål Extract

Journal of Chemistry, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
The process of producing metal nanoparticles via plant extract synthesis is not only straightforward but also economical, expeditious, and environmentally sustainable. It is consequently implemented in an extensive range of disciplines. In the process of producing silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), an extensive variety of plant extracts was employed.

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
