Mistletoes of the Continental United States and Canada will be a field guide to the identification of the native mistletoes of the continental United States and Canada and including one introduced mistletoe now found in California. It will include information on the biology and ecology of these mistletoes, how mistletoes are identified (their morphology, physiology, and host associations), the geographic distribution of mistletoes, and comments on how to distinguish morphologically similar mistletoes from one another. Although it will not include citations within the text, it will include lists of 'selected references' that contain important additional material about mistletoes that readers can use to expand their knowledge of mistletoes. It will also include sections on the relationships of mistletoes with other organisms, such as birds, mammals, insects, and fungi. It will include a set of sidebars highlighting interesting aspects of mistletoe biology, ecology, or their cultural significance. Although the book will not include specific information on the management of mistletoes, there will be a section discussing why mistletoes are often managed by human societies.
