The aim of this study was to describe the anatomy and ontogeny of Pterodon emarginatus seed using the usual techniques. The ovules are campilotropous, crassinucelate, and bitegmic. The following processes occur during integument development: anticlinal divisions and phenolic compound accumulations in the exotesta, whose cells become palisade; predominantly periclinal divisions and cell expansio...

In the present study the phenolic (Folin-Dennis) and flavonoid (colorimetric assay) constituents and the antioxidant activity of Pterodon emarginatus seeds were investigated in several samples prepared with different extraction procedures: essential oil (EO) using a Clevenger-type apparatus; hexanic (HF), ethyl acetate (EAF), buthanolic (BF) and methanolic (MF) fractions using Soxhlet extractio...

Boreantrops Kits & Marshall is a recently described genus of flies in the family Sphaeroceridae. Species occur from Brazil and Bolivia north to northern Mexico, mostly in humid montane environments. Two species were included in the genus when originally described, B. calceatus (Duda) and B. mexicanus (Steyskal). Here we revise the genus to include 32 species, including the following 30 new spec...

Vegetable oils present important pharmacological properties, which gained ground in the pharmaceutical field. Its encapsulation in nanoemulsions is considered a promising strategy to facilitate the applicability of these natural compounds and to potentiate the actions. These formulations offer several advantages for topical and systemic delivery of cosmetic and pharmaceutical agents including c...

The Geoffroy’s bat, Myotis emarginatus, is the only species distributed in Palaearctic belonging to African clade of genus Myotis. It occurs extensively across several ecologic zones Europe, north-western Africa, and western central Asia, hence it was considered be a polytypic species. Only one subspecies reported from Europe North up four were recognised Asia. However, validity particular taxa...
