1. Chemical profile and antioxidant activity of geopropolis from Melipona subnitida collected inside and outside the nest
Melipona subnitida (“jandaíra”) is a species of stingless bee endemic to the Caatinga, a dry forest in the northeastern Brazilian semi-arid. Propolis is a product containing beeswax and plant resin. It contains compounds that can be able to prevent health problems by protecting cells against damage by oxidative agents. M. subnitida produces geopropolis,

2. Chemical Constituents and Cytotoxic Activity of Rhinella jimi (Anura: Bufonidae)
Rhinella jimi toads (Stevaux, 2002) belong to the Bufonidae family, are endemic in the Brazilian Northeast and are commonly found during rainy periods. In general, amphibians of this family have in their poisons different metabolites that show a diversity of pharmacological activities. The isolation and identification of these compounds are of great importan

3. More is not always better: responses of the endemic plant Vellozia nanuzae to additional nutrients
ABSTRACT Soil nutrients are one of the main drivers of plant species composition and distribution, mainly due to the role they play in plant survival and reproductive success. However, the nutritional requirements of plants inhabiting their native ecosystems are still poorly known. This is the case for most species of campo rupestre vegetation, which are fou

4. Novelties in Brazilian Waltheria L. (Byttnerioideae, Malvaceae): two new species and one re-establishment
ABSTRACT This work validates two Waltheria species endemic to campo rupestre with complete descriptions, illustrations, updated geographical distributions and comments on taxonomic affinities. Waltheria biribiriensis and Waltheria terminans are restricted to the Southern Espinhaço Province in eastern South America, occurring on mountain tops where campo rup

5. THE EFFECT OF ALTITUDE ON THE GROWTH AND DEVELOPMENT OF TROJAN FIR (Abies nordmanniana subsp. equi-trojani [Asch. & Sint. ex Boiss] Coode & Cullen) SAPLINGS
ABSTRACT The altitude is an important factor to affect the growth and development of saplings of the tree. However, the effect of altitude on the growth and properties of wood during their young stage it has been little studied. This study, therefore, aimed to evaluate the influence of two different altitude steps: 795 m (a.s.l. low-altitude) and 1350 m (a.s

6. Taxonomic study of Marsypianthes Mart. ex Benth. (Hyptidinae, Lamiaceae) in Brazil
ABSTRACT Marsypianthes is a Neotropical plant genus distributed from southern Mexico to northeastern Argentina. It is composed of six species - M. arenosa, M. burchellii, M. chamaedrys, M. foliolosa, M. hassleri, M. montana - with all occurring in Brazil except for M. arenosa, which occurs in Mexico. Marsypianthes burchellii, M. foliolosa and M. montana are

7. The dark side of the rain: self-pollination setbacks due to water exposure in Pavonia varians Moric (Malvaceae), a species with rain-dependent flowering
ABSTRACT Plants that occur in arid or semi-arid environments may restrict their flowering to the rainy season to ensure water availability for reproductive functions. However, the exposure of flowers to rainfall can compromise their functionality, such as complex self-pollination mechanisms. We experimentally tested how rainfall exposure affects the sequence

8. DISINFECTION PROTOCOL AND IN VITRO GERMINATION OF SEEDS OF Dalbergia nigra
ABSTRACT The Atlantic Forest is a biome that has suffered anthropic actions, such as the extraction of hardwood, which can lead to the extinction of endemic species of great economic and ecological value, such as Dalbergia nigra. In this perspective, large-scale multiplication studies are necessary to contribute to the conservation of this species. The objec

9. Increasing the known floristic diversity of Brazilian inselbergs: two new species of Mandevilla (Apocynaceae) from Espírito Santo
ABSTRACT Two new species of Mandevilla endemic to inselbergs of the state of Espírito Santo, Brazil, are described. Mandevilla alata resembles M. callista but differs by having winged stems, shorter petioles, shorter pedicels, and a white corolla with a red throat. Mandevilla ibitubana resembles M. grazielae but differs by having short-petiolate leaves, a w

10. Non-random distribution of microsatellite motifs and (TTAGGG)n repeats in the monkey frog Pithecopus rusticus (Anura, Phyllomedusidae) karyotype
Abstract The monkey frog, Pithecopus rusticus (Anura, Phyllomedusidae) is endemic to the grasslands of the Araucarias Plateau, southern Brazil. This species is known only from a small population found at the type locality. Here, we analyzed for the first time the chromosomal organization of the repetitive sequences, including seven microsatellite repeats and
