The complete chloroplast genome of Elytranthe Albida (Loranthaceae), a hemiparasitic shrub
Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2019 The complete chloroplast genome (plastome) of Elytranthe albida (Blume) Blume (Loranthaceae) was sequenced. The plastome is 128,658 bp in length, which encodes 96 unique genes, including 64 protein-coding genes, 4 rRNAs, and 28 tRNAs.

A REVISION OF DENDROPHTHORA (LORANTHACEAE) [PDF]
Wentia, 1961 There comes a time in the history of nearly every genus when it becomes almost immoral to add new species without first having surveyed the genus as a whole. Dendrophthora has reached this state. From the time of its first recognition as a separate entity to the present, new species have been described, often on very tenuous grounds, and usually ...

A global review of mistletoe frugivory and seed dispersal: The plant perspective
Plant Biology, EarlyView.We reviewed studies on mistletoe frugivory and seed dispersal worldwide. Although mistletoes are relatively well studied, major taxonomic, geographic, and methodological gaps remain. We conclude that modern technologies offer new opportunities to address long‐standing but still poorly explored questions about these interactions.

Austral Ecology, Volume 51, Issue 6, June 2026.ABSTRACT Presently, there are three main hypotheses to explain why the leaves of many Australian mistletoes resemble their hosts. The eco‐physiological convergence hypothesis suggests that mistletoes must manage their physiology, especially their water relations, to match those of the host, to avoid killing themselves or the host branch they have ...

European mistletoe shares a similar demographic strategy with non‐parasitic plants
Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 5, May 2026.European mistletoe (Viscum album) does not have a distinct demographic strategy from non‐parasitic plants, as quantified by time‐based life history traits. We found that mistletoe vital rates were driven by mistletoe size and position in the host tree.

Notas sobre la familia Loranthaceae y el parasitismo secundario
Botanical Sciences, 1963 La in vasión de Psittacanthus calyculatns (D. C.) Don., Phoradendron purpusi Trel. y Strulanthus densiflorus por las tres especies de lorantáceas mencionadas al respecto, nos hacen ver que aunque existe cierta selectividad hacia el hospedero, la ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.We present here the first quantitative assessment of plant endemics from the Manica Highlands (Zimbabwe‐Mozambique), totalling 216 taxa, representing over 9% of the estimated total flora. A major finding is that 173 (80%) endemic taxa are principally or entirely confined to open montane habitats such as grassland, bare rock, crags and scrub or dwarf ...

Pollen Exposed to Aerial Pesticide Spray Is a Major Exposure Pathway for Stingless Bees
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.We conducted a molecular ecology experiment to determine foraging of stingless bees and potential exposure routes for aerially applied pesticides. We found that 27% of forager bees brought back Bti to the hive, and that this is a major route for pesticide exposure.

International Biological Flora: Loranthus europaeus*
Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 4, April 2026.Loranthus europaeus is a deciduous hemiparasitic species native to Europe and western Asia, primarily parasitizing oaks. It forms xylem connections via haustoria, extracting water and nutrients while exhibiting high transpiration and low water‐use efficiency.
