Pond-breeding amphibians are affected by site-specific factors and regional and landscape-scale patterns of land use. Recent anthropogenic landscape modifications (drainage, agriculture intensification, larger road networks, and increased traffic) affect species by reducing the suitable habitat area and fragmenting remaining populations. Using a robust concentric approach based on permutation t...

Three novel triterpene glycosides (1 – 3), namely lycicoside I, II and cilicicoside I, were isolated from two different Cephalaria (Dipsacaceae) species along with one known oleananeand one iridoit-type of glycoside. The structures of these compounds were established as 3-O-[β -D-glucopyranosyl(1→3)-α-L-rhamnopyranosyl(1→4)-β -D-xylopyranosyl(1→4)-β -D-xylopyranosyl]-28-O-[β -Dglucopyranosyl(1→...
