The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Asian weaver ants, Oecophylla smaragdina, and their repelling of pollinators (2004, background): “Another possibility is that Oecophylla itself is a pollinator particularly mediating selfing, as has been suggested in other ant-plant associations (e.g. Kawakita & Kato 2002; Raju & Ezradanam 2002).”
Pollen viability, pollen germination and pollen tube growth in the biofuel seed crop Jatropha curcas (Euphorbiaceae). (2012, background): “The diameter of pollen grains is ca. 81–95 μm (Bhattacacharya et al., 2005; Kaur et al., 2011; Raju and Ezradanam, 2002).”
Benzyladenine Treatment Significantly Increases the Seed Yield of the Biofuel Plant Jatropha curcas (2011, background): “One of the most likely reasons for poor yield is that Jatropha has few female flowers resulting from a very low female-to-male flower ratio, which, depending on the genotype, is about 1:29–1:13 (Raju and Ezradanam 2002; Tewari and others 2007).”
