Plant Disease/July 2008 989 mistletoes, but studies have not yet confirmed their role in this
process (138). Dispersal. The coevolution of mistletoes with their avian vectors has resulted …

Climate change is triggering ecological responses all over the world as a result of frequent,
prolonged droughts. It could also affect ecological interactions, particularly pollination and …

Background Ecological adaptation to host taxa is thought to result in mistletoe speciation via
race formation. However, historical and ecological factors could also contribute to explain …

The consequences of the seed deposition of the parasitic mistletoe Psittacanthus
schiedeanus were evaluated in a 32‐mo study. We conducted a field seed inoculation …

We investigated the Psittacanthusschiedeanus mistletoe infection of its preferred host tree
species Liquidambarstyraciflua in remnants of cloud forest in Central Veracruz, Mexico. We …

Este estudo foi desenvolvido visando identificar as proporções entre as síndromes de
dispersão e os tipos de frutos encontrados em três áreas: nascente (Cerrado Rupestre) …

Abstract Most Psittacanthus (Loranthaceae) mistletoes depend on frugivorous birds for seed
dispersal, and the behaviour of seed dispersers strongly influences their spatial distribution …

At the scale of an individual host, mistletoes are aggregated in space, resulting from the
preferential perching of mistletoe dispersers on previously infected plants. We hypothesized …

Biotic interactions among plants have long been recognized as important in determining
community structure and dynamics (Pickett 1980). Interactions range from negative to …

Parasitism of plants by other plants provides an exceptional opportunity for investigating
correlative nutritional relationships. Because of lacking a usual plant-root sytem capable of …
