Ecology of neotropical mistletoes: an important canopy-dwelling component of Brazilian ecosystems
Mistletoes have been studied in temperate countries regularly because they can be pests of
cultivated plants and forest plantations. In comparison with temperate habitats, little is known …

A comparative study of aluminium and nutrient concentrations in mistletoes on aluminium‐accumulating and non‐accumulating hosts
Mistletoes offer a unique model to study interactions among A l and nutrients in vascular
plants, because they grow and reproduce on hosts with distinct A l uptake strategies. We …
