Integrating Biotic and Abiotic Factors to Elucidate Reproductive Success in Rafflesia zollingeriana Koord Background and aims - The pollination mechanism of Rafflesia remains a mystery due to its dioecious nature, as male and female flowers rarely bloom simultaneously in the same location. This study exam...

Rafflesia zollingeriana blooms for five days, but its pollen survives for eight, giving pollinators a narrow window to link male and female plants.

This study reveals that pollination success is a delicate race against time: doi.org/10.3897/arphapreprints.e191324
