Ecology of neotropical mistletoes: an important canopy-dwelling component of Brazilian ecosystems

Abstract: Ecology of neotropical mistletoes: an important canopy-dwelling component of Brazilian ecosystems RESUMO (Ecologia de ervas-de-passarinho Neotropicais: um importante componente do dossel de ecossistemas brasileiros). Ervas-de-passarinho têm sim sido regularmente estudadas em países temperados por afetar negativamente espécies cultivadas e fl orestas manejadas. Em comparação com ambientes temperados pouco se conhece sobre a ecologia das ervas-de-passarinho neotropicais. Desta forma, é necessário maior conhecime… Show more

“…Th e fi rst step toward improving our understanding of mistletoe-host interactions is to determine the pattern of host specifi city on various spatial scales (Norton & Carpenter 1998;Blick & Burns 2009, Arruda et al 2012. Empirical data show that some species of mistletoe that locally specialize on certain host species (e.g., Psittacanthus plagiophyllus on Anacardium occidentale L.; Fadini 2011) are generalists on a regional scale (Caires & Proença 2008).…”

“…Although this is not the norm in the fi eld, there is a lack of data on this subject in the literature and our knowledge of the particularities of mistletoe-host interactions is therefore limited. Mistletoe can have a major impact on the development of host plants (Press & Phoenix 2005, Arruda et al 2009Mourão et al 2009, Arruda et al 2012. Because mistletoe draws nutrition from its host-either by intercepting the xylem, as is the case for Struthanthus spp.…”
