Seasonal differences in population‐, ensemble‐ and community‐level responses of bats to landscape structure in Amazonia
TL;DR: In this paper, seasonal variation in response to landscape structure by bats has not been examined previously, and population-, ensemble-and assemblage-level responses of phyllostomids to landscape composition and configuration were quantified separately during the wet and dry season at three circular focal scales (1, 3 and 5 km radii) for 14 sites in fragmented lowland Amazon forest.

Hierarchical fruit selection by Neotropical leaf-nosed bats (Chiroptera: Phyllostomidae)
Tiago Y. Andrade,Wibke Thies,Patrícia Kerches Rogeri,Patrícia Kerches Rogeri,Elisabeth K. V. Kalko,Elisabeth K. V. Kalko,Marco A. R. Mello,Marco A. R. Mello +7 more
TL;DR: The hypothesis that frugivorous phyllostomids do not forage opportunistically, and, moreover, segregate their diets hierarchically at the genus and species levels is corroborated.

Season-modulated responses of Neotropical bats to forest fragmentation

TL;DR: Differences in bat species abundance between the wet and dry season in a fragmented landscape in the Central Amazon characterized by primary forest fragments embedded in a secondary forest matrix revealed relationships between species abundances and local vegetation structure and landscape characteristics were both season specific and scale dependent.

Essential Oils from Neotropical Piper Species and Their Biological Activities.

TL;DR: There are many reports of Piper EOs as antimicrobial agents, antiprotozoal, antinociceptive, anti-inflammatory and cytotoxic activity against different tumor cells lines (breast, leukemia, melanoma, gastric, among others), which can contribute to the rational and economic exploration of Piper species, once they have been identified as potent natural and alternative sources to treat human diseases.

Survey of medical ethnobotanicals for dental and oral medicine conditions and pathologies.

TL;DR: Pharmacognostic research and clinical trails which can verify taxonomy, dose, safety, active principles, and efficacy of these OTC oral medicine products must be enhanced in order to verify the claimed validity in contemporary, global, oral medicine practice.

A revised medium for rapid growth and bio assays with tobacco tissue cultures

TL;DR: In vivo redox biosensing resolves the spatiotemporal dynamics of compartmental responses to local ROS generation and provide a basis for understanding how compartment-specific redox dynamics may operate in retrograde signaling and stress 67 acclimation in plants.

Confidence limits on phylogenies: an approach using the bootstrap.
TL;DR: The recently‐developed statistical method known as the “bootstrap” can be used to place confidence intervals on phylogenies and shows significant evidence for a group if it is defined by three or more characters.

MODELTEST: testing the model of DNA substitution.

TL;DR: The program MODELTEST uses log likelihood scores to establish the model of DNA evolution that best fits the data.

Dating of the human-ape splitting by a molecular clock of mitochondrial DNA.
TL;DR: A new statistical method for estimating divergence dates of species from DNA sequence data by a molecular clock approach is developed, and this dating may pose a problem for the widely believed hypothesis that the bipedal creatureAustralopithecus afarensis, which lived some 3.7 million years ago, was ancestral to man and evolved after the human-ape splitting.
