Our study provides a foundational understanding of seed ecology and germination biology in the threatened Mediterranean-endemic carnivorous plant Drosophyllum lusitanicum, with data implicating fire-related cues as a significant ecological mechanism influencing recruitment. Seeds are physiologically dormant at release and germinate rapidly after exposure to short pulses of temperatures similar to those experienced in soils during the passage of fire (80-100°C). Understanding the ecological requirements of rare and threatened species such as D. lusitanicum is critical to the implementation of effective conservation initiatives, and an accurate understanding of their reproductive mechanisms dramatically increases the likelihood of such actions to succeed.

Defining the role of fire in alleviating seed dormancy in a rare Mediterranean endemic subshrub
