Mistletoes are parasitic plants that directly derive all or most of their nutrition from other flowering plants during most or all of their life cycle. There are approximately 3,000 parasitic angiosperms in 15 plant families, and almost all are dicotyledonous.
The mistletoe's aerial parasitic lifestyle imposes stringent requirements on reproduction by seed, so it is not surprising that birdâmistletoe interactions are highly specialized 6. Efficient dispersal of mistletoes involves not only the ingestion and transport of the sticky seeds produced by these plants, but also their placement on the living branches of an appropriate host.
