Ecosystem services provided by bats
Thomas H. Kunz,Elizabeth Braun de Torrez,Dana Marie Bauer,Tatyana A. Lobova,Theodore H. Fleming +4 more
TL;DR: Information on the ecological and economic value of ecosystem services provided by bats can be used to inform decisions regarding where and when to protect or restore bat populations and associated habitats, as well as to improve public perception of bats.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ecosystem Services Provided by Birds
TL;DR: The goals for this review are to lay the groundwork on supporting services to facilitate future efforts to estimate their economic value, to highlight gaps in knowledge, and to point to future directions for additional research.

Host specificity of insect herbivores in tropical forests.
Vojtech Novotny,Yves Basset +1 more
TL;DR: This conclusion, together with the recent downward revisions of extremely high estimates of tropical species richness, suggest that tropical ecosystems may not be as biodiverse as previously thought.

Piper Species: A Comprehensive Review on Their Phytochemistry, Biological Activities and Applications.
Bahare Salehi,Zainul Amiruddin Zakaria,Rabin Gyawali,Salam A. Ibrahim,Jovana Rajkovic,Zabta Khan Shinwari,Tariq Khan,Javad Sharifi-Rad,Adem Ozleyen,Elif Turkdonmez,Marco Valussi,Tugba Boyunegmez Tumer,Lianet Monzote Fidalgo,Miquel Martorell,William N. Setzer +14 more
TL;DR: The functional properties of Piper plants/extracts/active components the antiproliferative, anti-inflammatory, and neuropharmacological activities of the extracts and extract-derived bioactive constituents are thought to be key effects for the protection against chronic conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
A review of Piper spp. (Piperaceae) phytochemistry, insecticidal activity and mode of action
TL;DR: The conclusions of the current work with Piperaceae are that Piper extracts offer a unique and useful source of biopesticide material for controlling small-scale insect out-breaks and reducing the likelihood of resistance development when applied as a synergist with other botanical insecticides such as pyrethrum.

Journal ArticleDOI
The Evolution of Ecological Specialization
TL;DR: The evolution of "niche breadth" was a more popular topic in the evolutionary ecological literature of the 1960s and 1970s than it has been recently (109, 118, 120, 134, 155, 156) as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
THE ECOLOGY AND EVOLUTION OF INTRAGUILD PREDATION: Potential Competitors That Eat Each Other
TL;DR: The purpose is to document the ubiquity and importance of intraguild predation and to establish a theoretical framework for its analysis, which is the first synthesis of IGP into a general work.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phylogenetics of seed plants: an analysis of nucleotide sequences from the plastid gene rbcL.
TL;DR: Two exploratory parsimony analyses of DNA sequences from 475 and 499 species of seed plants, respectively, representing all major taxonomic groups indicate that rbcL sequence variation contains historical evidence appropriate for phylogenetic analysis at this taxonomic level of sampling.
Journal ArticleDOI
Optimal Foraging Theory: A Critical Review
TL;DR: It follows that the proportion of individuals in a population foraging in ways that enhance their fitness will tend to increase over time, and the average foraging behavior will increasingly come to be characterized by those characteristics that enhance individual fitness.

Markov Chasin Monte Carlo Algorithms for the Bayesian Analysis of Phylogenetic Trees
Bret Larget,DL Simon +1 more
TL;DR: The Bayesian framework for analyzing aligned nucleotide sequence data to reconstruct phylogenies, assess uncertainty in the reconstructions, and perform other statistical inferences is developed and a Markov chain Monte Carlo sampler is employed to sample trees and model parameter values from their joint posterior distribution.
