DOI: 10.1002/cbic.201900733
Abstract: Mycenarubin C, a previously unknown red pyrroloquinoline alkaloid, was isolated from fruiting bodies of the mushroom Mycena rosea and its structure was elucidated mainly by NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. Unlike mycenarubin A, the major pyrroloquinoline alkaloid… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00049-020-00315-3
Abstract: Thapsigargin and related compounds are produced by Thapsia garganica L. (Apiaceae) and are thought to be a defence compound against herbivory. Thapsigargin inhibits the sarco-endoplasmic reticulum Ca 2+ -ATPase (SERCA) in both vertebrates and invertebrates.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.marenvres.2017.04.014
Abstract: Bryozoans are among the most abundant and diverse members of the Antarctic benthos, however the role of bioactive metabolites in ecological interactions has been scarcely studied. To extend our knowledge about the chemical ecology of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0285007
Abstract: Floral chemical defence strategies remain under-investigated, despite the significance of flowers to plant fitness. We used cyanogenic glycosides (CNglycs)—constitutive secondary metabolites that deter herbivores by releasing hydrogen cyanide, but also play other metabolic roles—to ask… read more here.

Diet and chemical defence in ladybird beetles (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae)
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "European Journal of Entomology"
DOI: 10.14411/eje.2022.037
Abstract: . In this paper, I review the effects of the diet of ladybirds on chemical defence in this group of beetles. The tendency to re fl ex bleed and the diversity of autogenously produced alkaloids… read more here.
