Although soybean (Glycine max) is predominantly self-pollinated, floral visitors may enhance productivity and contribute to broader ecosystem services. This study evaluated the diversity, abundance, and community composition of floral-visiting insects in soybean fields under three contrasting production systems: Polyculture, Intensive Monoculture, and Intensive Monoculture Adjacent to a Forest Fragment. Surveys were conducted over three agricultural seasons using standardized active sampling across replicated sites. Diversity was quantified using Shannon and Simpson indices, while community similarity was assessed with Jaccard and Sørensen metrics and non-metric multidimensional scaling (NMDS). Polyculture fields supported the highest abundance and species richness, reflecting the influence of landscape heterogeneity on floral visitor communities. Monoculture fields exhibited reduced abundance and greater community homogenization, whereas monoculture sites adjacent to forest fragments showed intermediate patterns, likely driven by species spillover from natural habitats. Honeybees (Apis mellifera Linnaeus, 1758) were the dominant floral visitors across all systems, but wild floral visitor insects and natural enemies also contributed substantially to community structure. Although species richness across systems was broadly comparable, differences in abundance, evenness, and functional composition revealed distinct ecological dynamics among production systems. These findings underscore the importance of diversified landscapes and adjacent natural habitats in sustaining floral visitor diversity and associated ecosystem services. Approaches that incorporate habitat conservation and landscape diversification may enhance pollination and biological control within soybean agroecosystems.</p>","PeriodicalId":55326,"journal":{"name":"Brazilian Journal of Biology","volume":"86 ","pages":"e300919"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-05-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147950329","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

LL stress reduces the biomass and thickness of the leaf. However, the leaf area was considerably increased. Nevertheless, LL stress noticeably increased the quantity of chloroplast. However, the length and width of stomata were reduced markedly. LL stress led to an increase in the chlorophyll level and reduced the content of anthocyanin and flavonoids. The composition of carotenoids and chloroplast membrane lipids of leaves was significantly altered by LL stress. LL stress-induced responses were closely associated with the generation of superoxide anion and hydrogen peroxide. Concomitantly, lipoxygenase activity was significantly elevated in the leaf tissue, leading to the accumulation of malondialdehyde, indicating oxidation of membrane lipids. The activities of catalase and superoxide dismutase were prominently reduced by ca. 2.11- and 1.6-fold, respectively, by LL stress. However, there was a remarkable induction in the activities of peroxidase and glutathione reductase by ca. 31.5 and 40.8%, respectively, which was influenced by LL stress. Although, no manifest effect in the activities of monodehydroascorbate reductase and dehydroascorbate reductase was noticed in LL stress and control grown leaves. Furthermore, LL stress distinctly decreases the level of ascorbate and dehydroascorbate, whereas the level of the glutathione pool (glutathione and oxidized glutathione) is markedly increased. Our results concluded that the elevated level of reactive oxygen species (ROS)-induced oxidative stress was responsible for the inhibition of growth under LL stress. The stimulated antioxidants did not effectively reverse the LL stress-induced ROS generationin leaves. The changes that occurred in the membrane lipids are possibly the consequence of modifications in the physiology of plants to endure function of the thylakoid membrane to keep physiological functions dynamic to tolerate LL stress environments.

In this sense, medicinal plant-based substances can aid in the design of pharmacologically important products and contribute to the development of innovative therapeutic alternatives. Given this, the objective of this study was to investigate the antifungal potential of the monoterpene (R)-(+)-limonene against strains of Candida glabrata (Nakaseomyces glabrata). Antifungal activity was determined by the broth microdilution technique for the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and, subsequently, the minimum fungicidal concentration (MFC) was determined. The mechanism of action of the possible antifungal activity was analyzed by sorbitol and ergosterol assays. Molecular docking was also performed to evaluate the molecular interactions of (R)-(+)-Limonene with the enzyme 1,3-β-glucanase and sterol 14α-demethylase. Based on the tests, (R)-(+)-Limonene presented a MIC and MFC of 256 μg/mL, with fungicidal characteristics, showing strong inhibitory activity for strains ATCC 9003, LM 13, and LM 16 and moderate activity for LM 46. The mechanism of action involves both the cell wall and the fungal plasma membrane. In addition, the molecular docking study pointed to an interaction between (R)-(+)-Limonene and the active sites of the proteins 1,3-β-glucanase and sterol 14α-demethylase (CYP51), the latter being more robust. As for the association test, the antifungal potential of (R)-(+)-Limonene was demonstrated when used individually, without association with fluconazole.
