Pollination ecology and breeding system of Xylopia championii (Annonaceae): curculionid beetle pollination, promoted by floral scents and elevated floral temperatures [PDF]
, 2007 Data on the reproductive biology of the Annonaceae are rather fragmentary, particularly for paleotropical species. The pollination ecology and breeding system of the Sri Lankan endemic Xylopia championii (Annonaceae) are described in detail.

Plant Species Biology, Volume 40, Issue 2, Page 136-147, March 2025.The study investigated the volatile organic compounds profile of Daphne rodriguezii's floral aroma, a rare and threatened endemic species. Moths were identified as the main pollinators due to their evening and night activity. From a conservationist methodological perspective, plant proximity needs to be considered in this species.

Aerial litter mimicry: A novel form of floral deception mediated by a monoterpene synthase
Journal of Ecology, Volume 113, Issue 2, Page 302-321, February 2025.We report the first pollination system in which a flower imitates aerial litter, which refers to the arboreal plant litter in a forest. Our findings demonstrated that Meiogyne heteropetala flower fooled the aerial litter specialist Loberus sharpi by mimicking aerial litter in size, colour and odour.
