Changes in interactions between juniper and mistletoe mediated by shared avian frugivores: parasitism to potential mutualism
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Oecologia"
DOI: 10.1007/s004420100792
Abstract: Although mistletoe is typically viewed as a parasite of juniper in a two-way interaction, its role may become neutral or even mutualistic when their common avian seed dispersing agents are considered as a three-way interaction.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.fitote.2021.105059
Abstract: The neutral fraction of a juniper (Juniperus communis L.) berries acetone extract could positively modulate the activity of type 1 - cannabinoid receptor (CB1R). Bioactivity-directed fractionation identified the labdane diterpenoid agathadiol (4) as a positive… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jaridenv.2021.104549
Abstract: Abstract Pinyon jays (Gymnorhinus cyanocephalus) are experiencing range wide population declines primarily in response to habitat degradation. More studies examining pinyon jay nest site selection in pinyon-juniper woodlands would be helpful in determining potential habitat… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.rama.2018.04.008
Abstract: ABSTRACT Mechanical cutting and mastication of juniper trees aims to restore grassland habitat by reducing the density of encroaching woody species. However, the associated soil disturbance may also create conduits for invasive species, a risk… read more here.
