Journal ArticleDOI
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.

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
Direct amplification of the entire ITS region from poorly preserved plant material using recombinant PCR.
TL;DR: This recombinant PCR approach, taking into account the +A bases added by several Taq DNA polymerases, will also be useful with other marker regions used in molecular phylogenetics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Higher Order Interactions in Ecological Communities: What Are They and How Can They be Detected?
Ian Billick,Ted J. Case +1 more
TL;DR: The detection and significance of higher order interactions between species has been a matter of debate and experimentation in community ecology for several decades as discussed by the authors, and the causal mechanisms that produce HOIs have been inadequately discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
A piperidine amide extracted from Piper longum L. fruit shows activity against Aedes aegypti mosquito larvae.
TL;DR: The toxicity of pipernonaline is comparable to that of pirimiphos-methyl as a mosquito larvicide and no activity was observed with piperettine, piperine, or piperlongumine in tests with available components derived from P. longum.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of top predator species on direct and indirect interactions in a food web
TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared the direct and indirect effects of three top-predator species, be- longing to the same hunting spider guild, on the same species of grasshopper and on old- field grasses and herbs.
