Seed Dispersers, Seed Predators, and Browsers Act Synergistically as Biotic Filters in a Mosaic Landscape

In this study, we analize the functional influence of animals on the plants they interact with in a mediterranean mountain. We hypothesise that seed dispersers, seed predators, and browsers can act as biotic filters for plant communities. We analyse the combined effects of mutualistic (seed dispersal) and antagonistic (seed predation, herbivory) animal interactions in a mosaic landscape of Medi...

Lizards as pollinators and seed dispersers: an island phenomenon

Although it is well established that many insects, birds and mammals serve as important pollinators and seed dispersers of flowering plants, the role of lizards in these processes has traditionally been considered as rare and less important. However, recent work shows both that their role as mutualistic agents has been underestimated and also reveals a striking pattern – that pollination and se...

ANTHELMINTIC EFFECT OF Solanum lycocarpum IN MICE INFECTED WITH Aspiculuris

This approach intends to add new data on the helminthes parasites of laboratory mice. It has been investigated the anthelmintic activity of Solanum lycocarpum (Solanaceae) extracts against Aspiculuris tetraptera in mice naturally infected. According to the analysis of the results it was observed and an extremely significant difference between TM and C (from 5.64 ± 3.33 to 1.56 ± 3.16). It was p...

In vitro trypanocidal activity of solamargine and extracts from Solanum palinacanthum and Solanum lycocarpum of Brazilian cerrado.

The present investigation was to evaluate the potential trypanocidal activity of crude ethanolic extract of the fruits of Solanum palinacanthum, Solanum lycocarpum and the glycoalcaloid, solamargine. S. palinacanthum and S. lycocarpum fruit powders were submitted to exhaustively extraction with 96% ethanol and solamargine were isolated from the extract of S. palinacanthum. Both extracts and sol...
