Mistletoe infection in an oak forest is influenced by competition and host size.

PLoS ONE, 2015
Host size and distance from an infected plant have been previously found to affect mistletoe occurrence in woody vegetation but the effect of host plant competition on mistletoe infection has not been empirically tested.

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

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 ...

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

Conservation 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.

You are what you eat : nutrient and water relations between mistletoes and hosts

, 2023
Mistletoes play important roles in biogeochemical cycles. Although many studies have compared nutrient concentrations between mistletoes and their hosts, no general patterns have been found and the nutrient uptake mechanisms in mistletoes have not been ...

Host species of mistletoes (Loranthaceae and Viscaceae) in Australia

, 2020
In order to study the relationships between mistletoes and their host species, comprehensive collections of both mistletoes and hosts are needed. The effect of sampling effort on the estimation of mistletoe host range was demonstrated in a comparison of ...

Mistletoes, their host plants and the effects of browsing by large mammals in Addo Elephant National Park

Koedoe: African Protected Area Conservation and Science, 1991
There are at least four plant hemiparasites [=mistletoes, viz. Viscaceae (3 species), Loranthaceae (1 species)] within the Addo Elephant National Park. Highly selective utilisation of these plant parasites by large browsing animals has resulted in severe

Data from "Mistletoes and their eucalypt hosts differ in the response of leaf functional traits to climatic moisture supply"

, 2021
Trade-offs between photosynthesis and the costs of resource capture inform economic strategies of plants across environmental gradients and result in predictable variation in leaf traits.

Host Preference, Salt Balance and Molecular Characteristics of African Mistletoes in Selected Areas of Sokoto State, Nigeria

, 2023
Mistletoes are hemi parasitic plants that are widely distributed and parasitize host trees globally. The aim of this study was to identify African mistletoes using DNA markers, determine their host preferences and salt balance in selected communities of ...
