ethanolic crude extract of i. imbricata lindl. (iridaceae) was subjected to column chromatography on silica gel with varying portions of meoh: chcl3. nigicin (irisolone) was isolated and its identification carried out by ir, uv, ms, 1-d and 2-d nmr spectroscopy.

Host-specificity tests were conducted involving two provenances of D. tomentosus: one collected from C. imbricata in South Africa (henceforth called the imbricata provenance) and one collected from C. rosea in Mexico (henceforth called the rosea provenance). These provenances were reared on both C. imbricata and the target weed, Cff. On the target weed, the imbricata provenance survived poorly ...

Surprisingly, a high frequency of interspecific sea turtle hybrids has been previously recorded in a nesting site along a short stretch of the Brazilian coast. Mitochondrial DNA data indicated that as much as 43% of the females identified as Eretmochelys imbricata are hybrids in this area (Bahia State of Brazil). It is a remarkable find, because most of the nesting sites surveyed worldwide, inc...

Epibiotic organisms inhabiting non-nesting hawksbill sea turtles, Eretmochelys imbricata (Linnaeus, 1766), are described from Mona and Monito Islands, Puerto Rico. Epibiont samples from 105 turtles of shallow (< 40 m) water foraging habitats were collected and identified to the lowest possible taxon. This epibiotic assemblage consisting of at least 4 algal functional groups and 12 animal phyla ...

Tinea imbricata or tokelau is a chronic superficial mycosis caused by Trichophyton concentricum. The disease is endemic in the Pacific, including on the Solomon Islands, where it is known as bakua. The disease predominantly affects individuals living in poor rural communities with limited access to hygiene. It is estimated that between 10% and 20% of individuals in some Pacific countries are af...

Hybridization among sea turtle species has been widely reported in the Atlantic Ocean, but their detection in the Pacific Ocean is limited to just two individual hybrid turtles, in the northern hemisphere. Herein, we report, for the first time in the southeast Pacific, the presence of a sea turtle hybrid between the green turtle Chelonia mydas and the hawksbill turtle Eretmochelys imbricata. Th...
