Stoichiometric mismatches between Australian showy mistletoes and their hosts: You are what you assimilate

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 17, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Ecological stoichiometry emphasizes that mismatches between the elemental composition of organisms and their resources can shape ecological interactions, evolutionary trajectories, and nutrient cycling. For hemiparasitic plants such as mistletoes, which draw water and nutrients from hosts while maintaining their own photosynthesis, such ...

Spontaneous regression of equine sarcoids is an exceptional event

open access: yesEquine Veterinary Journal, Volume 58, Issue 4, Page 889-894, July 2026.
Abstract Sarcoids are benign, yet locally aggressive skin tumours that commonly affect horses and other equid species. The lesions are induced by bovine papillomavirus types 1, 2, and probably 13 in conjunction with other factors including trauma and a genetic predisposition.

Traditional Respiratory Remedies From Anatolia: Ethnobotanical Insights and Bioactive Properties

open access: yesChemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 23, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Respiratory disorders, ranging from acute viral infections such as influenza and bronchitis to chronic inflammatory conditions including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, asthma, emphysema, and pneumonia, represent a major global health burden, affecting millions annually. Traditional Anatolian folk medicine has long relied on plant‐based

Delivering Proteins and Enzymes to Solid Tumors Through the Development of Stimuli‐Responsive Nanocarriers

open access: yesChemNanoMat, Volume 12, Issue 6, June 2026.
Stimuli‐responsive strategies to achieve controlled release of protein‐based therapeutic agents into solid tumors. Proteins, enzymes, and peptides have long been recognized as valuable therapeutic agents, particularly in oncology. However, their complex chemical structures render them more sensitive than smaller chemotherapeutic drugs.

Disproportionate Declines in Ground-Foraging Insectivorous Birds after Mistletoe Removal. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
Insectivorous birds have been recognized as disproportionately sensitive to land-use intensification and habitat loss, with those species feeding primarily on the ground exhibiting some of the most dramatic declines.

Wilting wildflowers and bummed‐out bees: Climate change threatens US state symbols

open access: yesPeople and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 6, Page 1832-1851, June 2026.
Abstract Species designated as state symbols in the United States carry cultural importance, embody historical heritage and maintain long‐standing linkages to Indigenous traditions. However, they are threatened by climate change and even face the risk of local or global extinction.

Australian Mistletoe‐Host Leaf Resemblance: Support for Eco‐Physiological Convergence Rather Than Disperser‐ or Herbivore‐Driven Mimicry

open access: yesAustral 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 ...

Seasonal variations of sulphur, phosphorus and magnesium in the leaves and current-year twigs of hemiparasitic mistletoe Loranthus europaeus Jacq. and its host Quercus pubescens Willd.

open access: yesJournal of Forest Science, 2018
The objectives of this research were to investigate nutrient seasonal dynamics in the hemiparasitic mistletoe Loranthus europaeus von Jacquin and its host Quercus pubescens Willdenow, and to evaluate nutrient relationships between mistletoe and its host.

Contribution of privately protected areas to the conservation of a threatened woodland bird community

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Legally protecting areas of habitat is a common action for the conservation of threatened species and communities. However, protection on public land alone is inadequate to conserve many species and ecosystems. The inclusion of privately protected areas within the protected area network provides one mechanism to address this shortfall.
