	abstract = {Pollination ecology and reproductive success of Jack-in-the-pulpit (Arisaema triphyllum) were studied in two natural populations in Qu{\'e}bec, Canada. Individual A. triphyllum plants can be of three types: male, female or bisexual. In both populations studied, the presence of bisexual inflorescences was not negligible (13\%), where {\textquoteleft}female{\textquoteright} and {\textquoteleft}male{\textquoteright} bisexual plants were categorised according to the relative number of stamens and ovaries. {\textquoteleft}Male bisexual{\textquoteright} plants produce only pollen and {\textquoteleft}female bisexual{\textquoteright} plants produce only fruit. Hence, A. triphyllum is a true dioecious plant, as each plant only reproduces through either the male or the female function. {\textquoteleft}Female bisexual{\textquoteright} plants were equivalent to female plants in terms of visitation rate by insects, fructification rate and production of berries and seeds. Neither agamospermy in female plants nor self-pollination in {\textquoteleft}female bisexual{\textquoteright} plants was found, thus A. triphyllum relies on insects for cross-pollination. Despite the long flowering cycle, a low visitation rate was documented: only 20{\textendash}40\% of inflorescences were visited, according to gender, by a mean of 1.5 insects. In this study, Mycetophilidae represented the most generically diversified and abundant family, as well as the most efficient insect pollinator, especially the genera Docosia and Mycetophila.},
