The African C 3 host species are significantly (p < 0.001) richer in 13C
(less negative (i13C values) than the ones from Australia. For the mistletoes,
the difference is significant at the p < 0.05 level, but in the same direction.
When we consider the (iD values of mistletoes and their hosts, it should
be emphasized again that we did not analyze the tissue water of these
partners, but the organic material.
