title: Moss
text: It has recently been found that microarthropods , such as springtails and mites , can effect moss fertilization and that this process is mediated by moss - emitted scents . Male and female fire moss , for example emit different and complex volatile organic scents . Female plants emit more compounds than male plants . Springtails were found to choose female plants preferentially , and one study found that springtails enhance moss fertilization , suggesting a scent - mediated relationship analogous to the plant - pollinator relationship found in many seed plants . The stinkmoss species Splachnum sphaericum develops insect pollination further by attracting flies to its sporangia with a strong smell of carrion , and providing a strong visual cue in the form of red - coloured swollen collars beneath each spore capsule . Flies attracted to the moss carry its spores to fresh herbivore dung , which is the favoured habitat of the species of this genus .
