The fruit of the mistletoe, a parasitic angiosperm, is a one-seeded berry. In members of the genus Viscum, the outside of the seed is viscous (sticky), which permits the seed to adhere to surfaces such as the branches of host plants or the beaks of birds. What should be expected of the fruit if the viscosity of Viscum seeds is primarily an adaptation for dispersal rather than an adaptation for infecting host plant tissues

We should expect that the fruits should grow in population and spread more easily.

Explanation:

Like the relationship between bamboo and pandas, the relationship between the seeds and the beaks of birds should allow the seeds to spread to other areas more easily that would otherwise be a very gradual process if the seeds did not evolve its viscous ability.

surface mining destroys mountain tops, landscapes, forests and wildlife habitats. on top of that, it leads to soil erosion and destruction of agricultural land. the landscape changes can also disrupt river channels and streams, which leads to flooding. which, can destroy plant life and other animals as well.
