Mistletoes are parasitic plants that largely rely on animals for pollination and seed dispersal but establish complex interac-tions with their host plants. Mistletoes are considered keystone species in forest ecosystems as they facilitate several interac-tions. We studied the fauna associated with two sympatric mistletoe species (Tristerix corymbosus (L.) Kuijt and Desmaria mutabilis (Poepp. & Endl.) Tiegh.) from the temperate rainforests of southern Chile. We set 40 camera traps from November 2021 to May 2022 to monitor the main pollinator (the hummingbird Sephanoides sephaniodes (R. Lesson & Garnot, 1827)), the main seed disperser (the arboreal marsupial Dromiciops bozinovici D'Elia, Hurtado & D'Anatro, 2016), and other animals (birds, mammals, reptiles, and insects). We compared fauna associated with Tristerix corymbosus between spring and summer-fall periods and between Tristerix corymbosus and Desmaria mutabilis during summer-fall. Species composition associated with Tristerix corymbo-sus showed a significant temporal variation, mainly explained by Sephanoides sephaniodes and Dromiciops bozinovici, which are more abundant in the summer-fall period. We found that animal species composition differences between mistletoe species were mainly explained by S. sephaniodes, Dromiciops bozinovici, and insects. While Tristerix corymbosus was mainly pollinated by hummingbirds, insects frequently visited Desmaria mutabilis flowers. Although both mistletoes have many similarities, they also have some phenology differences that affect their associations with animals, potentially influencing ecological processes.
