Various natural products with the chromane and chromene scaffold exhibit high antiprotozoal activity. The natural product encecalin (7) served as key intermediate for the synthesis of different ethers
Noncrop flowering plants restore top-down herbivore control in agricultural fields (Publications)
Herbivore populations are regulated by bottom-up control through food availability and quality and by top-down control through natural enemies. Intensive agricultural monocultures provide abundant foo
