Foraging strategy and tree structure as drivers of arboreality and suspensory behaviour in savannah-dwelling chimpanzees by Rhianna C. Drummond-Clarke, Susan Chege Reuben, Fiona A. Stewart, Fiona A. Stewart, Fiona A. Stewart, Alex K. Piel, Alex K. Piel, Alex K. Piel, Tracy L. Kivell

“…However, the link between foraging positional behaviour and tree structure remains understudied.MethodsWe collected data on arboreal foraging behaviour and corresponding tree structural characteristics over five months in the dry season, and used generalized linear mixed models to test for any effect of food type and tree structural characteristics on (1) duration of foraging bouts, (2) frequency of locomotion, and (3) use of suspensory behaviour.ResultsWe found that food types and tree structures found in woodland vegetation are associated with more time spent in foraging trees, a higher rate of locomotion, and the use of suspension in particular.DiscussionOur results suggest that arboreal, and especially suspensory, locomotion can be advantageous for foraging in a savannah-mosaic and not just closed forest habitats. …”

USING QUANTUM-CHEMICAL PARAMETERS FOR PREDICTING ANTIRADICAL (HO•) ACTIVITY OF RELATED STRUCTURES CONTAINING A CINNAMOIL FRAGMENT. IV. STRUCTURE-ACTIVITY RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN UNSAT... by E. T. Oganesyan, S. S. Shatokhin

“…At the same time, the transition from flavanone to flavone leads to the formation of a conjugated system with the participation of π-electrons of the aromatic system “B”, C-7, C-8 atoms and the carbonyl group, which is commonly called the “main conjugation chain”. These structural changes, namely, the transition from a less oxidized flavanone to a more oxidized flavone, contribute to a decrease in the electron density on C-7 and C-8 atoms, and an increase in the total unsaturation of the molecules in general. …”
