Assessment of host infection and distribution patterns are crucial to understand the underling mechanisms that shape parasitic plant spread in natural ecosystems. However, such data remain scarce for mistletoes inhabiting ...

The physiological, anatomical and phenological aspects of the interaction between Psittacanthus robustus (Loranthaceae), a hemiparasite of aerial parts, and Qualea cordata (Vochysiaceae) were accessed in a cerrado area in ...

The mistletoe Psittacanthus robustus was studied as a model to link flower phenology and nectar secretion strategy to pollinator behaviour and the reproductive consequences for the plant. The bright-coloured flowers presented ...
