Hybridization and differential introgression associated with environmental shifts in a mistletoe species complex [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2018 Host specialization after host shifting is traditionally viewed as the pathway to speciation in parasitic plants. However, geographical and environmental changes can also influence parasite speciation, through hybridization processes.

Range and Elevational Shifts of Mistletoes Under Future Climate Change Scenarios. [PDF]
Ecol EvolMistletoes are particularly vulnerable to climate change because of their obligate dependence on host plants. We investigated how climate change will alter the distribution of suitable habitat of Mesoamerican Psittacanthus mistletoes. Species differences were found in distribution with northward and upward shifts accompanied by significant range size ...
