The Advantage of being Parasitized
TL;DR: Host–brood parasite interactions may not always be as they seem.
Journal ArticleDOI
α-Homonojirimycin [2,6-dideoxy-2,6-imino-d-glycero-l-gulo-heptitol] from omphalea diandra L.: isolation and glucosidase inhibtion
Geoffrey C. Kite,Linda E. Fellows,George W. J. Fleet,Paul S. Liu,A.M. Scofield,Neal Griffith Smith +5 more
TL;DR: The isolation of α-homonojirimycin from Omphalea diandra is described and it is shown that this compound is an inhibitor of several α-glucosidases.

α-Homonojirimycin and 2,5-dihydroxymethyl-3,4-dihydroxy-pyrrolidine: Alkaloidal glycosidase inhibitors in the moth Urania fulgens
Geoffrey C. Kite,Jonathan M. Horn,John T. Romeo,Linda E. Fellows,David C. Leest,A.M. Scofield,Neal Griffith Smith +6 more
TL;DR: Adults, pupae and eggs of the neotropical moth, Urania fulgens, contain a-homonojirimycin and 2,5-dihydroxymethyl-3,4-dhydroxypyrrolidine, two of the alkaloidal glycosidase inhibitors that occur in the larval foodplant, Omphalea diandra.

Genetic and phenotypic characterization of a hybrid zone between polyandrous Northern and Wattled Jacanas in Western Panama
Matthew J. Miller,Sara E. Lipshutz,Sara E. Lipshutz,Neal Griffith Smith,Eldredge Bermingham,Eldredge Bermingham +5 more
TL;DR: The two species of New World jacanas maintain a narrow, and persistent hybrid zone in western Panama, which suggests strong selection against maternally-inherited markers, which may indicate either mitonuclear incompatibilities and/or female choice against heterospecific matings typical of avian hybrid systems, despite jacana sex role reversal.
