Phelipanche cernua Pomel (Orobanchaceae), a prioritary name for the western mediterranean species recently redescribed as Ph. inexpectata [PDF]
, 2013 The specific parasite of Lactuca (Compositae) described in 2005 from the Iberian Peninsula as Phelipanche inexspectata (Orobanchaceae) and known so far in northeastern Spain and southern France, is shown to also occur in mountain areas of northern Africa,

Rhamphicarpa fistulosa, a widespread facultative hemi-parasitic weed, threatening rice production in Africa [PDF]
, 2014 Rhamphicarpa fistulosa is a facultative hemi-parasitic plant of the Orobanchaceae family, adapted to wet soils. Apart from tropical Australia, it is only found in sub-Saharan Africa, where it is considered a minor weed in cereal crops such as rice.

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.

Recent advances in Broomrapes research [PDF]
Journal of BioScience and Biotechnology, 2012 Orobanchaceae (broomrapes) is a morphologically diverse family of predominantly herbaceous, parasitic plants. The majority of species are facultative or obligate root parasites that subsist on broad-leaf plants, thereby depleting them of nutrients ...

Niche Segregation Between Black‐Necked Crane and Common Crane in Human‐Modified Landscape, Huize Black‐Necked Crane National Nature Reserve, Yunnan Province, Southwestern China [PDF]
Ecol EvolWe investigated how Black‐necked Cranes and Common Cranes coexist in agro‐wetland landscapes of southwest China by reconstructing their plant‐based diets using eDNA metabarcoding. Black‐necked Cranes maintained broad, stable diets centered on natural vegetation, while Common Cranes shifted dynamically to energy‐dense crops, leading to progressive niche

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 ...

Host-driven morphological variability in orobanche crenata (Orobanchaceae) [PDF]
, 2018 Studies on interactions between Orobanche species and their hosts are mainly focused on resistance, radical interactions, and haustorium development. The influence of the host plant on morphology of the parasite under environmental controlled conditions ...

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 4, Page 2226-2240, April 2026.ABSTRACT The Orobanchaceae family, the largest group of parasitic plants, spans a complete spectrum from autotrophic to holoparasitic species. As a typical endangered holoparasitic species within this family, Cistanche deserticola is a parasitic plant that is widely harvested for traditional medicine in desertic regions, and of growing importance as a ...
