Ecology: Plant Parasites Victimized by a Parasitic Plant [PDF]
Current Biology, 2018 A recent study reveals a novel type of trophic interaction: galls induced on a native Florida oak by cynipid wasps are attacked by love vine, a subtropical parasitic plant. Attack is fatal to the wasp, and thus there is the opportunity for the vine to exert selection on the wasp to alter gall structure.

Hemiparasitic plant impacts animal and plant communities across four trophic levels [PDF]
, 2015 1.Understanding the impact of species on community structure is a fundamental question in ecology. There is a growing body of evidence that suggests that both sub-dominant species and parasites can have a disproportionately large impact.
