“…Araceae; Lance, 1974). The Araceae contains more thermogenic species than any other family (Meeuse, 1975;Meeuse & Raskin, 1988;Gibernau et al, 2005), and has attracted much attention from researchers aiming to understand heating mechanisms (Wagner et al, 1998(Wagner et al, , 2008Ito et al, 2003a,b;Crichton et al, 2005;Ito & Seymour, 2005;Onda et al, 2008), or to characterize the ecological significance of thermogenesis in plant-pollinator interactions (Gottsberger, 1999;Gibernau & Barabé, 2002). Among thermogenic arums, the capacity for heat generation differs markedly, from approx.…”
