  • Pollen and Stamen Mimicry: the Alpine Flora As a Case Study
    Arthropod-Plant Interactions DOI 10.1007/s11829-017-9525-5 ORIGINAL PAPER Pollen and stamen mimicry: the alpine flora as a case study 1 1 1 1 Klaus Lunau • Sabine Konzmann • Lena Winter • Vanessa Kamphausen • Zong-Xin Ren2 Received: 1 June 2016 / Accepted: 6 April 2017 Ó The Author(s) 2017. This article is an open access publication Abstract Many melittophilous flowers display yellow and Dichogamous and diclinous species display pollen- and UV-absorbing floral guides that resemble the most com- stamen-imitating structures more often than non-dichoga- mon colour of pollen and anthers. The yellow coloured mous and non-diclinous species, respectively. The visual anthers and pollen and the similarly coloured flower guides similarity between the androecium and other floral organs are described as key features of a pollen and stamen is attributed to mimicry, i.e. deception caused by the flower mimicry system. In this study, we investigated the entire visitor’s inability to discriminate between model and angiosperm flora of the Alps with regard to visually dis- mimic, sensory exploitation, and signal standardisation played pollen and floral guides. All species were checked among floral morphs, flowering phases, and co-flowering for the presence of pollen- and stamen-imitating structures species. We critically discuss deviant pollen and stamen using colour photographs. Most flowering plants of the mimicry concepts and evaluate the frequent evolution of Alps display yellow pollen and at least 28% of the species pollen-imitating structures in view of the conflicting use of display pollen- or stamen-imitating structures. The most pollen for pollination in flowering plants and provision of frequent types of pollen and stamen imitations were pollen for offspring in bees.

  • Top 6 Herbs to Heal Pain and Inflammation in Horses
    Top 6 Herbs to Heal Pain and Inflammation in Horses Discover the Top Herbs to Manage your Horse’s Pain and Inflammation - Naturally Why Herbal Medicine? It is understood that animals have been self-medicating with herbs throughout time. In fact, the same can be said for humans. Did you know that many pharmaceutical drugs have been developed as a result of studying traditional herbal medicines, extracting what are considered to be the key chemical constituents, synthetically manufacturing those chemicals and prescribing them at high doses? In many developing countries, a large portion of the population still rely heavily on traditional practitioners and medicinal plants to meet their primary health care needs, even where more modern Western medical systems are available. So why use herbal medicines when there are pharmaceutical alternatives? What we are unable to replicate in pharmaceutical drugs is the manner in which the multitude of different phytochemicals found in plant medicines work together synergistically to heal the body. Taking a single chemical component from a plant and prescribing it at a high dose often produces side effects that are not evident when the medicine is taken in plant form, as plants tend to contain just the right balance of a range of phytochemicals. This is not to say that plant medicines have no side effects, as some are toxic when prescribed incorrectly. Another factor to consider is cost. Herbal medicines are often significantly cheaper than pharmaceutical medicines, largely because herbal medicines cannot be patented. In some cases, you can even grow fresh herbs in your own home.

  • Anti-Urolithiatic Activity of Filipendula Ulmaria Leaf Extracts in Male Albino Rats
    CATRINA (2020), 22(1): 49-55 © 2020 BY THE EGYPTIAN SOCIETY FOR ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES Anti-Urolithiatic Activity of Filipendula ulmaria Leaf Extracts in Male Albino Rats Rabab M. Aljarari*1 and Muna O. Alamoudi2 1 Biology Department, Faculty of Science, Jeddah University, Jeddah - Saudi Arabia 2 Biology Departments, Faculty of Science, Hail University, Hail City - Saudi Arabia ABSTRACT Filipendula ulmaria L. is a perennial herb that can be found in regions with higher humidity in Asia, and Europe. The herb is used medicinally as drugs for several purposes such as facilitating renal elimination functions and many other biological activities. Therefore, the present study was focus on the anti-Urolithiatic activity of Filipendula ulmaria leaf extracts using Albino rats as a model. The influence of oral administration of aqueous, methanolic and ethanolic extracts of Filipendula ulmaria leaves on accumulated calcium oxalate urolithiasis has been investigated. Nephrolithiasis was induced in the rats by oral administration of ethylene glycol (0.75%) in drinking water for 28 days. Animals were divided into nine groups, each containing six rats. Group 1 received purified water as negative control; group 2 received ethylene glycol in drinking water; group 3 received cystone as curative agent, groups 4-9 received Filipendula ulmaria extracts in dosages of 100 and 200 mg/kg body weight, respectively. The aqueous and methanolic Leaf-extracts showed significant reduction in the urine parameters compared to ethanolic extracts. However, using the cystone showed highest reduction rate compared to the leaf-extracts using different solvents. Cystone also recorded higher impact on the serum parameters compared to the extract used.

  • Site Synopsis
    SITE SYNOPSIS SITE NAME : LOWER RIVER SUIR SITE CODE : 002137 This site consists of the freshwater stretches of the River Suir immediately south of Thurles, the tidal stretches as far as the confluence with the Barrow/Nore immediately east of Cheekpoint in Co. Waterford and many tributaries including the Clodiagh in Co. Waterford, the Lingaun, Anner, Nier, Tar, Aherlow, Multeen and Clodiagh in Co. Tipperary. The Suir and its tributaries flows through the counties of Tipperary, Kilkenny and Waterford. Upstream of Waterford city, the swinging meanders of the Suir criss- cross the Devonian sandstone rim of hard rocks no less than three times as they leave the limestone-floored downfold below Carrick In the vicinity of Carrick-on-Suir the river follows the limestone floor of the Carrick Syncline. Upstream of Clonmel the river and its tributaries traverse Upper Palaeozoic Rocks, mainly the Lower Carboniferous Visean and Tournaisian. The freshwater stretches of the Clodiagh River in Co. Waterford traverse Silurian rocks, through narrow bands of Old Red Sandstone and Lower Avonian Shales before reaching the carboniferous limestone close to its confluence with the Suir. The Aherlow River flows through a Carboniferous limestone valley, with outcrops of Old Red Sandstone forming the Galtee Mountains to the south and the Slievenamuck range to the north. Glacial deposits of sands and gravels are common along the valley bottom, flanking the present-day river course. The site is a candidate SAC selected for the presence of the priority habitats on Annex I of the E.U. Habitats Directive - alluvial wet woodlands and Yew Wood.
