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 ...

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.

Ecological drivers and phylogenetic patterns of leaf minimum conductance variability in vascular plants

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 6, Page 3716-3731, June 2026.
Summary Stomatal closure prevents significant water losses during drought events. Yet, leaves are not perfectly hermetic and dehydration ensues through residual water losses, known as minimum conductance (gmin), which is highly relevant since it informs on the water depletion dynamics under stress.

Immunopotentiation by Natural Extracts: Mechanisms and Applications in Influenza Vaccine Adjuvant Development

open access: yesFood Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 5, May 2026.
Natural Extracts as Candidate Influenza Vaccine Adjuvants. Seasonal influenza vaccines face limitations due to viral mutations and low efficacy in vulnerable populations. Traditional adjuvants often have safety or immune‐activation constraints, leading to increased interest in natural extracts from plants, marine organisms, and fungi.

Mistletoes in a changing world: a premonition of a non-analog future? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Mistletoes are a group of flowering plants that have developed a parasitic lifeform through complex eco-evolutionary processes. Despite being considered a pest, mistletoes represent a keystone forest resource and are involved in complex plant–plant and ...

Peristethium phaneroneurum (Loranthaceae): a new combination expands the distribution of the genus from Honduras to Brazil

open access: yesRodriguésia
A new combination, Peristethium phaneroneurum, is proposed, based on Struthanthus phaneroneurus, described from Honduras in 1940 by Paul C. Standley. This new combination extending the geographical distribution of the genus from Honduras to the ecotone ...
