The hero of the series of comic books by Rene Goscinny and Albert Uderzo gains his superhuman strength from a mistletoe-containing potion brewed by the local druid. In the real world, mistletoe is less well regarded (except by those seeking someone to kiss at Christmas). It is a parasite that can damage trees. But an experiment conducted recently in Australia suggests this is only part of the story. For, in the woodlands the study investigated, mistletoe did indeed have wondrous properties. If it was removed, many other species vanished, too. The study in question, just published in the P roceedings of the Royal Society, was conducted by David Watson and Matthew Herring of Charles Sturt University, in Albury, Australia. Dr Watson and Dr Herring looked at patches of woodland in Billabong Creek, New South Wales, and sorted them into two groups: those where mistletoe was present, and those where it was absent.
