Parasitism modifies the direct effects of warming on a hemiparasite and its host. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2019
Climate change is affecting interactions among species, including host-parasite interactions. The effects of warming are of particular interest for interactions in which parasite and host physiology are intertwined, such as those between parasitic plants

Nitrogen enrichment reduces parasitism in an annual hemiparasite. [PDF]

Am J Bot
AbstractPremiseAnthropogenic activities such as fossil fuel combustion and synthetic fertilizer synthesis have resulted in nitrogen (N) deposition and elevated N availability in ecosystems. Many parasitic plants are adapted to low N environments and have evolved mechanisms to sequester water, N, and other limiting nutrients from hosts.

Induced defence by a root hemiparasite increases host plant resistance against future infection [PDF]

Plant Biology
Infection by root hemiparasites can increase mortality of parasites during future infection, indicating induced host defence mechanisms. Abstract European grassland plants are frequently attacked by root hemiparasites. However, little is known about host defence responses to parasitism.

DEGREE OF INFESTATION AND PREFERENCES OF HEMIPARASITES IN URBAN ARBORIZATION [PDF]

Revista Árvore, 2023
Mistletoe is an important nutritional resource for the frugivorous ornithological fauna in several ecosystems. However, in great intensity, they can reduce the vigor of their host trees, requiring adequate management in urban afforestation, without ...

Hemiparasitic Castilleja presence is correlated with increased plant biodiversity across montane plant communities. [PDF]

Am J Bot
Abstract Premise Root hemiparasites form haustoria in belowground roots of hosts to extract nutrients and water from the surrounding hosts. Through parasitic symbiosis, these plants disproportionately affect plant communities relative to their abundance by reducing host size, altering nutrient flow, and eventually increasing local biodiversity.

Promising biocontrol effects of a native hemiparasitic plant against a non-native C4 grass [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Hemiparasitic plants are known to be able to diversify degraded grasslands by lowering the competitive power of dominant grasses. Recent research indicates that hemiparasites may also be used against invasive alien plants.
