Two Epiparasitic Species of Phoradendron (Viscaceae) from Honduras: one New and for the Other a Range Extension and Host Determination [PDF]
A new species of Phoradendron, Ph. mathiasenii, is described, and a range extension and host are given for Ph. tikalense. Both species are from Honduras and grow as epiparasites, i.e., mistletoes parasitizing other mistletoes. The parasitic host for both

Epiparasitism in Phoradendron durangense and P. falcatum (Viscaceae) [PDF]
Phoradendron, the largest mistletoe genus in the New World, extends from temperate North America to temperate South America. Most species are parasitic on terrestrial hosts, but a few occur only, or primarily, on other species of Phoradendron.

Phylogenetic Relationships in Phoradendreae (Viscaceae) Inferred from Three Regions of the Nuclear Ribosomal Cistron. II. The North American Species of Phoradendron [PDF]
A parsimony analysis based on sequences from the ITS region and two partitions of the 26S subunit of nuclear ribosomal DNA was used to infer phylogenetic relationships among the North American species of Phoradendron.

Two mistletoes are too many?: Interspecific occurrence of mistletoes on the same host tree [PDF]
Mistletoe can have a major impact on the fitness of the host plant. If there is more than one species of mistletoe on the same host tree, the overall impact might be amplified.

Ecology of neotropical mistletoes: an important canopy-dwelling component of Brazilian ecosystems [PDF]
Mistletoes have been studied in temperate countries regularly because they can be pests of cultivated plants and forest plantations. In comparison with temperate habitats, little is known about the ecology of mistletoes in the Neotropics.
