Development of ten microsatellite markers from the keystone mistletoe Tristerix corymbosus (Loranthaceae) using 454 next generation sequencing and their applicability to population genetic structure studies
(Springer, 2016-05)
Tristerix corymbosus (Loranthaceae) is a keystone mistletoe from the South American temperate rainforests. As most mistletoes, T. corymbosus relies on biotic pollination and seed dispersal, which may cause population ...
Why mistletoes are more aggregated in disturbed forests? The role of differential host mortality
(Elsevier B.V., 2017)
© 2017 Elsevier B.V. Mistletoes rely on biotic seed dispersal to ensure their recruitment on appropriate host plants, as their seeds must be deposited on safe sites to allow attachment. As most host-parasite systems, ...
Ecological consistency across space: A synthesis of the ecological aspects of Dromiciops gliroides in Argentina and Chile
(2012)
Dromiciops gliroides is an arboreal marsupial found in the temperate forests of South America (36- 43 °S). This species is the sole extant representative of the order Microbiotheria, and is a key seed disperser of many ...
The hidden costs of living in a transformed habitat: Ecological and evolutionary consequences in a tripartite mutualistic system with a keystone mistletoe
(Elsevier B.V., 2019)
© 2018 Elsevier B.V. Land use change is one of the most important anthropogenic drivers of biodiversity loss. Nevertheless, the ecological and evolutionary consequences of habitat transformation remain less understood than ...
Neighborhood effects on seed dispersal by frugivores: Testing theory with a mistletoe-marsupial system in Patagonia
(2012)
The outcome of the dispersal process in zoochorous plants is largely determined by the behavior of frugivorous animals. Recent simulation studies have found that fruit removal rates and mean dispersal distances are strongly ...
Scale-dependent responses of pollination and seed dispersal mutualisms in a habitat transformation scenario
(Wiley & Sons, 2015)
Transformed habitats are the result of deliberate replacement of native species by an exotic monoculture, involving changes in biotic and abiotic conditions. Despite the fact that transformed habitats are becoming more ...
