Effects of forest edges, fruit display size, and fruit colour on bird seed dispersal in a New Zealand mistletoe, Alepis flavida
This study examined how forest edges, fruit display size, and fruit colour influenced rates of seed dispersal in an endemic, bird-dispersed, New Zealand mistletoe species, Alepis flavida. To examine rates of seed dispersal, fruit removal rates were compared between plants growing on forest edges and in forest interior, and also between two morphs of plants with different coloured fruits. Two as...
متن کاملDevelopment and characterization of microsatellite loci in the mistletoe Psittacanthus schiedeanus (Loranthaceae)1
UNLABELLED PREMISE OF THE STUDY Microsatellite primers were developed for the parasitic Psittacanthus schiedeanus, a common mistletoe species on cloud forest-adapted tree hosts in Mesoamerica, to investigate intraspecific genetic patterns of diversity and genetic structure. • METHODS AND RESULTS Using an enriched library, 10 polymorphic microsatellite loci were developed in P. schiedeanus....
متن کاملIs the pollen-limited mistletoe Peraxilla tetrapetala (Loranthaceae) also seed limited?
Seed production in the endemic New Zealand mistletoe Peraxilla tetrapetala (Loranthaceae) has been shown to be consistently pollen limited, but to date there has been no test of whether the species is also seed limited. If it is not seed limited, then pollen limitation may have no effect on population size.We tested for seed limitation by sowing seeds onto host trees at high and low densities a...
متن کاملEvaluation of Anti-Inflammatory Activity and In-vitro Antioxidant Activity of Indian Mistletoe, the Hemiparasite Dendrophthoe falcata L. F. (Loranthaceae)
Methanolic and aqueous extracts of Dendrophthoe falcata Linn. leaves which belongs to the Loranthaceae family, were evaluated through DPPH (1, 1-diphenyl -2-picryl-hydrazyl), antilipid peroxidation and nitric oxide scavenging methods to assess the antioxidant activity. Methanolic and aqueous extracts of Dendrophthoe falcata leaves were also evaluated for their anti-inflammatory activity by carr...
