Antagonism of plant pathogenic fungi by endophytic fungi is a well-known phenomenon. In
plate assays, the antagonism could be due to mycoparasitism, competition for space or …

Across the Metazoa, the emergence of new ecological interactions has been enabled by the
repeated evolution of exocrine glands. Specialized glands have arisen recurrently and with …

With fossil representatives from the Silurian capable of respiring atmospheric oxygen,
millipedes are among the oldest terrestrial animals, and likely the first to acquire diverse and …

The hyperdiverse order Coleoptera comprises a staggering~ 25% of known species on
Earth. Despite recent breakthroughs in next generation sequencing, there remains a limited …

The chemical defence of the millipede Pachyiulus hungaricus is reported in the present
paper, in which a chemical characterization is given and antimicrobial activity is determined …

The defensive chemistry of juliformian millipedes is characterized mainly by benzoquinones
(” quinone millipedes”), whereas the secretions of the putative close outgroup Callipodida …

The type species of Mischonyx Bertkau 1880, Mischonyx squalidus, was described based
on a juvenile. The holotype is lost. Based on a revision of publications, the genus includes …

Aromatic C–H oxygenation is important in both industrial production and organic synthesis.
Here we report a metal-free approach for phenol oxygenation with water as the oxygen …

Bombardier beetles are well-known for their remarkable defensive mechanism. Their
defensive apparatus consists of two compartments known as the reservoir and the reaction …

Cave animals live under highly constant ecological conditions and in permanent darkness,
and many evolutionary adaptations of cave-dwellers have been triggered by their specific …
