The relatively new research discipline of Eco-Metabolomics is the application of
metabolomics techniques to ecology with the aim to characterise biochemical interactions of …

Abstract Ideally, a Systems Toxicology (ST) approach is aimed at by (eco) toxicologists, ie a
multidisciplinary area incorporating classical toxicological concepts with omics technologies …

Background Metabolomics is the comprehensive study of a multitude of small molecules to
gain insight into an organism's metabolism. The research field is dynamic and expanding …

Background The amphibian, non-vascular, gametophyte-dominant, bio-indicator class,
bryophytes; with their wide ranges of habitat have attained importance due to their promising …

Bryophytes occur in almost all land ecosystems and contribute to global biogeochemical
cycles, ecosystem functioning, and influence vegetation dynamics. As growth and …

The central aim in ecometabolomics and chemical ecology is to pinpoint chemical features
that explain molecular functioning. The greatest challenge is the identification of compounds …

Introduction Liverworts are a group of non-vascular plants that possess unique metabolism
not found in other plants. Many liverwort metabolites have interesting structural and …

Integrative taxonomy is a fundamental part of biodiversity and combines traditional
morphology with additional methods such as DNA sequencing or biochemistry. Here, we …

In plant ecology, biochemical analyses of bryophytes and vascular plants are often
conducted on dried herbarium specimen as species typically grow in distant and …

Bibenzyls are a specialized metabolite class found throughout the plant kingdom. One of the
most prolific producers of bibenzyls are liverworts, specifically plants of the Radula genera …
