For a fourth Academic editor: species (Trioza vagata sp. n.) host information is unavailable but its association with Roland Mühlethaler mistletoes is likely. The four species form a putative monophyletic group, together with three North American species (Trioza acuminata Tuthill, T. incidata Tuthill and T. pho- Key Words rodendrae Tuthill), based on the apically incised paramere, the highly modified valvulae of the female ovipositor and the host association with mistletoes. T. acuminata stat. n. Sternorrhyncha from California is raised to species rank (originally described as subspecies of T. phoro- Triozidae dendrae). The Trioza struthanthi-group is diagnosed and a key for the identification of systematics its constituent members is provided.

    PART I • Omora Park Long-Term Ornithological Research Program THE OMORA PARK LONG-TERM ORNITHOLOGICAL RESEARCH PROGRAM: 1 STUDY SITES AND METHODS RICARDO ROZZI, JAIME E. JIMÉNEZ, FRANCISCA MASSARDO, JUAN CARLOS TORRES-MURA, AND RAJAN RIJAL In January 2000, we initiated a Long-term Ornithological Research Program at Omora Ethnobotanical Park in the world's southernmost forests: the sub-Antarctic forests of the Cape Horn Biosphere Reserve. In this chapter, we first present some key climatic, geographical, and ecological attributes of the Magellanic sub-Antarctic ecoregion compared to subpolar regions of the Northern Hemisphere. We then describe the study sites at Omora Park and other locations on Navarino Island and in the Cape Horn Biosphere Reserve. Finally, we describe the methods, including censuses, and present data for each of the bird species caught in mist nets during the first eleven years (January 2000 to December 2010) of the Omora Park Long-Term Ornithological Research Program. THE MAGELLANIC SUB-ANTARCTIC ECOREGION The contrast between the southwestern end of South America and the subpolar zone of the Northern Hemisphere allows us to more clearly distinguish and appreciate the peculiarities of an ecoregion that until recently remained invisible to the world of science and also for the political administration of Chile. So much so, that this austral region lacked a proper name, and it was generally subsumed under the generic name of Patagonia. For this reason, to distinguish it from Patagonia and from sub-Arctic regions, in the early 2000s we coined the name “Magellanic sub-Antarctic ecoregion” (Rozzi 2002). The Magellanic sub-Antarctic ecoregion extends along the southwestern margin of South America between the Gulf of Penas (47ºS) and Horn Island (56ºS) (Figure 1).

ABSTRACT The number of host species infected by a mistletoe (host range) is critical in that it influences prevalence, virulence and overall distribution of the parasite; however, macroecological analyses of this life history feature are lacking for many regions. The Andean-Patagonian forest, found along the southern Andes from 35˚S to Tierra del Fuego 55˚S, contains twelve mistletoe species in three families (Loranthaceae, Misodendraceae and Santalaceae). By tabulating herbarium records, the host ranges and geographical distributions of these mistletoes were explored. Our results show that these parasites occur on 43 plant species in 24 families but with varying degrees of specificity. All Misodendrum species and Desmaria mutabilis (Loranthaceae) are specialists that use Nothofagus as their primary hosts. Tristerix and Article Notanthera (Loranthaceae) and Antidaphne and Lepidoceras (Santalaceae) are generalists parasitizing more than six host species from several genera and families.

One of the most direct ways to evaluate this relationship is to measure the condition of the vegetation cover and land-use information. In southernmost South America there is a limited number of long-term studies on these matters, an incomplete network of weather stations and almost no database on ecosystems productivity. In the present work, we characterized the climate variability of the Magellan Region, southernmost Chilean Patagonia, for the last 34 years, studying key variables associated with one of its main economic sectors, sheep production, and evaluating the effect of extreme weather events on ecosystem productivity and sheep production.

  • Juniper Mistletoe Minor Effects on Junipers
    Juniper Mistletoe Minor effects on junipers Pathogen—Juniper mistletoe (Phoradendron juniperinum) is the only member of the true mistletoes that occurs within the Rocky Mountain Region (fig. 1). Hosts—Within the Rocky Mountain Region, juniper mistletoe is found in the pinyon-juniper woodlands of southwestern Colorado (fig. 2) and can infect all of the juniper species that occur there. Signs and Symptoms—Juniper mistletoe plants are generally densely branched in a spherical pattern and are green to yellow-green (fig. 3). Unlike most true mistletoes that have obvious leaves, juniper mistletoe leaves are greatly reduced, making the plants look similar to, but somewhat larger than, dwarf mistletoes. However, no dwarf mistletoes infect junipers in the Rocky Mountain Region. Disease Cycle—Juniper mistletoe plants are either male or female. The female’s berries are spread by birds that feed on them. As a re- sult, this mistletoe is often found where birds prefer to perch—on the tops of taller trees (fig. 1), near water sources, etc. When the seeds germinate, they penetrate the branch of the host tree. In the branch, the mistletoe forms a root-like structure that is used to gather water and minerals. The plant then produces aerial shoots that produce food Figure 1.

Distribution of juniper mistletoe in the Rocky Mountain Region Figure 3. Closeup of juniper mistletoe on juniper branch. Photo: Robert (from Hawksworth and Scharpf 1981).

Wiesenborn1 ABSTRACT.—Phoradendron juniperinum (Viscaceae) is a dioecious, parasitic plant of juniper trees ( Juniperus [Cupressaceae]) that occurs from eastern California to New Mexico and into northern Mexico. The species produces minute, spherical flowers during early summer. Dioecious flowering requires pollinating insects to carry pollen from male to female plants. I investigated the pollination of P. juniperinum parasitizing Juniperus osteosperma trees in the Cerbat Mountains in western Arizona during June–July 2016. I examined pollen from male flowers, aspirated insects from female flowers, counted conspecific pollen grains on insects, and estimated floral constancy from proportions of conspecific pollen in pollen loads.

WILSON1,2 1Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden, 1500 North College Avenue, Claremont, California 91711-3157, USA 2Corresponding author ([email protected]) ABSTRACT Phoradendron, the largest mistletoe genus in the New World, extends from temperate North America to temperate South America. Most species are parasitic on terrestrial hosts, but a few occur only, or primarily, on other species of Phoradendron. We examined relationships among two obligate epiparasites, P. durangense and P. falcatum, and their parasitic hosts. Fruit and seed of both epiparasites were small compared to those of their parasitic hosts. Seed of epiparasites was established on parasitic-host stems, leaves, and inflorescences. Shoots developed from the plumular region or from buds on the holdfast or subjacent tissue. The developing endophytic system initially consisted of multiple separate strands that widened, merged, and often entirely displaced its parasitic host from the cambial cylinder.
