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.
Journal ArticleDOI
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.

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
Concise, efficient new synthesis of pipercide, an insecticidal unsaturated amide from Piper nigrum, and related compounds
TL;DR: Pipercide and piperolein A, unsaturated amides from Piper nigrum, were prepared in overall yields of 21% and 35% respectively, by a new, short and efficient strategy, in which the key step was the aldol-Grob-type fragmentation sequence as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Isolation and identification of amides from Piper callosum. Synthesis of pipercallosine and pipercallosidine
TL;DR: In this paper, the roots of the shrub Piper callosum with cyclohexane afforded piperovatine (1)[N-isobutyl-6-(p-methoxyphenyl)sorbamide] and two new amides, the isobutylamides of (2E,4E)-9-(3,4-methylenedioxyphenymyl)nona-2, 4-dienoic acid and (E)-7-(3-4-methylenedioxymethyl)hept-2
Journal ArticleDOI
Chemical composition of the essential oil from the leaves of Piper fulvescens, a plant traditionally used in Paraguay
TL;DR: The essential oil from the leaves of the aromatic aniseed smelling plant Piper fulvescens, obtained by hydrodistillation, was investigated by GC and GC-MS, as well as by 13C-NMR after fractionation of the oil by column chromatography, finding an unusual sesquiterpene hydrocarbon.

Cytotoxic amides from Piper sintenense.
Jih Jung Chen,Yu-Chun Huang,Yu-Chang Chen,Yao Ting Huang,Shih-Wei Wang,Chieh Yu Peng,Che-Ming Teng,Ih-Sheng Chen +7 more
TL;DR: Pipersintenamide, sintenpyridone, sarmentine, and 1-(3,4-methylenedioxyphenyl)-1 E-dodecene at 20 microg/ml exhibited effective cytotoxicities (cell survival < 15 %) against CCRF-CEM, HL-60, PC-3, and HA22T cell lines.
