Seasonal variation in wild pig (Sus scrofa) diet revealed by DNA metabarcoding
Wildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 50, Issue 1, March 2026.Using DNA metabarcoding of fecal samples, we investigated the diet of wild pigs at an extensive bottomland hardwood forest ecosystem within Felsenthal National Wildlife Refuge in Southern Arkansas. We found that wild pig diet was highly diverse and included at least 74 plant families and 106 genera and 23 species of vertebrates.

Applicability of Plant Extracts in Preclinical Studies of Melanoma: A Systematic Review
Mediators of Inflammation, Volume 2018, Issue 1, 2018., 2018 Melanoma is the most aggressive form of skin cancer and arises from melanocyte gene mutation. This disease is multifactorial, but its main cause is the excessive exposure to ultraviolet radiation. Currently, available chemotherapy has shown little expressive results, which may justify the high use of natural products to treat this cancer.

Reproductive Biology of Viscum cruciatum (Viscaceae) in Southern Spain [PDF]
International Journal of Plant Sciences, 1995 The reproductive biology of the dioecious Viscum cruciatum, one of the few viscaceous mistletoes occurring in Europe, was investigated. The male flower is 7.2 mm long and lemon-scented, produces ca. 58,000 pollen grains, and has a dry mass of 14 mg, and thus a low relative staminate effort (RSE) value of 4,059. Female flowers, ca. 3 mm long, 2.7 mg dry

African Journal of Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 1, January 2025.ABSTRACT In Madagascar's rainforests, we lack knowledge of the natural history of mistletoe, a hemiparasitic plant that is an essential food source and habitat for many animals. Here, we compared the germination success and survival of Bakerella gonoclada mistletoe seeds that were defecated by lemurs with seeds hand‐removed from fruits to assess the ...
