(2005), quienes mencionaron que en el 97% de los casos de infestacion de la palomilla, los arboles presentaban plantas parasitas o muerdagos (
Arceuthobium spp.).
New York's one native mistletoe, dwarf mistletoe (
Arceuthobium pusillum), takes a different tack.
Nueve especies de las 13 identificadas existen en forma silvestre:

For instance, dwarf mistletoe (
Arceuthobium spp.) not only increases the likelihood of herbivore-induced tree mortality in ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa; Parker et al., 2006) it also considerably alters forest fire dynamics (Hoffman et al., 2007).
(2002) also observed that CH enhanced callus induction and proliferation from seeds of milestone,
Arceuthobium tsugense.
Two other species of lycaenids in the United States, Callophrys (formely Mitoura) spinetorum (Hewitson) and Callophrys (formely Mitoura) johnsoni (Skinner) are recorded as specialist herbivores on shoots of
Arceuthobium species (Viscaceae) (Shaw et al.
The reason for doing the experiment was to examine differences in the strength of trophic cascades in arthropod communities in pine and its parasite, dwarf mistletoe (
Arceuthobium vaginatum).
A subspecies of dwarf mistletoe,
Arceuthobium vaginatum subsp.
