Other claims from this paper (9)
- Observation Afrosalsola divaricata was inferred as a host.
- Observation Bassia tomentosa was inferred as a host.
- Observation Suaeda vera was inferred as a host.
- Observation Host specificity varied across the plant range.
- Observation Afrosalsola divaricata was the predominant host and was parasitized wherever it co-occurred at 50% of sites.
- Observation Inferred parasitism of multiple host species at one site was rare.
- Observation Eight of ten subpopulations were in high-footfall or urban-adjacent areas.
- Association Sensitively managed disturbance appeared to favor recruitment and population dynamics.
- Recommendation The authors suggested integrating distribution models with targeted surveys for island-wide inference.
