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: 10.1093/jxb/erab518
Abstract: Tensile tests and analysis of fracture surface roughness revealed that the mechanical bonding strength of mistletoe–host interfaces is age-independent. Cracks initiate along the interface at local strains of about 30%. read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/treephys/tpx018
Abstract: Mistletoes absorb water from the vascular system of their hosts and thus the water use of mistletoes can be influenced by the water status of their hosts besides abiotic environmental conditions; however, there is a… read more here.

DOI: 10.2179/18-173
Abstract: ABSTRACT The oak mistletoe (Phoradendron leucarpum, Viscaceae) is well-documented to exhibit preference for a few potential host species in a given locality, even when many potential host species are present. In trying to explain this… read more here.
