Abstract

Plants are reliable and exploitable resources of bioactive chemicals against pests in both people and wildlife. There is evidence that birds will include greenery in their nests that target pests. We used two types of chromatography to investigate the diversity of chemicals present in greenery found in nests of golden eagles. We found that available greenery had higher concentrations and diversity of chemicals than avian-preferred greenery, but all greenery contained bioactive compounds. Studying host-pest interactions may provide a novel and streamlined framework to discover bioactive compounds and help identify potential mechanisms of action to improve development of targeted natural products.
