Gut Passage in Lemurs Enhances the Germination of Mistletoe Seeds Bakerella gonoclada, in a Madagascar Rainforest

African Journal of Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 1, January 2025.
ABSTRACT In Madagascar's rainforests, we lack knowledge of the natural history of mistletoe, a hemiparasitic plant that is an essential food source and habitat for many animals. Here, we compared the germination success and survival of Bakerella gonoclada mistletoe seeds that were defecated by lemurs with seeds hand‐removed from fruits to assess the ...

From leaves to the whole tree: Mistletoe effects on the productivity, water relations, and demography of a Neotropical savanna tree

Austral Ecology, Volume 49, Issue 2, February 2024.
Abstract Trees' responses to mistletoes occur at multiple organization levels (e.g., leaf, individual, population), yet integrating these multi‐scale responses is still challenging. Here, we compared the traits of infected versus uninfected trees over multiple scales, from leaf anatomy and physiology to canopy allometries and individual growth rate and

What explains the high island endemicity of Philippine Rafflesia? A species distribution modeling analysis of three threatened parasitic plant species and their hosts

American Journal of Botany, Volume 111, Issue 1, January 2024.
Abstract Premise Rafflesia are rare holoparasitic plants. In the Philippines, all but one species are found only on single islands. This study aimed to better understand the factors contributing to this distributional pattern. Specifically, we sought to determine whether narrow environmental tolerances of host and/or parasite species might explain ...

Epi‐parasitic mistletoes don't parasitise their host's host and this supports the immunity hypothesis for host choice

African Journal of Ecology, Volume 62, Issue 1, January 2024.
Abstract Mistletoes have much higher transpiration rates than their hosts. This is the basis for the ecological “compatibility hypothesis” for host choice. The inability of mistletoes to penetrate a host and connect to its vascular system is the competing “immunity hypothesis”.
