title: Juniper dwarf mistletoe (<i>Arceuthobium oxycedri</i>) in the Crimean Peninsula: novel insights into its morphology, hosts, and distribution
abstract: Juniper dwarf mistletoe (Arceuthobium oxycedri (DC.) M. Bieb) is a semiparasitic species of Holarctic Cupressaceae hosts. This study updates the status of A. oxycedri and its hosts at the Crimean Peninsula, clearly defining them as principal (Eastern prickly juniper, Juniperus deltoides R.P.
