• Start making scents: the challenge of integrating chemistry into pollination ecology (2008, background): “, 2005), which is present in over half of all analyzed floral scents (Knudsen et al., 2006) and is attractive to a broad spectrum of anthophilous insects (Bernhardt et al.”
• Do carnivorous plants use volatiles for attracting prey insects (2009, background): “leucophylla are typically found in floral odours and many of the chemicals found in these two species have been described as attractants of anthophilous insects (see Table 1; Dobson 2006; Knudsen et al. 2006).”
• The function of terpene natural products in the natural world. (2007, background): “Terpenes are one of the major components of fruit and flower volatile”
• Floral volatiles play a key role in specialized ant pollination (2014, background): “The specificity of floral VOCs in attracting specific uilds of pollinators including moths, flies, bees, wasps, beetles, ats, or even rodents has been previously studied (Dobson, 2006; nudsen et al., 2006; Raguso, 2008; Peakall et al., 2010; Johnson t al., 2011; Maia et al., 2012), but the chemical ”
• Phenotypic selection on floral scent: trade-off between attraction and deterrence? (2011, background): “Much of the past work on floral scent has focused on the identification of scent compounds (volatile organic compounds, VOCs), leading to the identification of an intriguing chemical diversity produced by flowers (Knudsen et al. 2006).”
• Floral volatiles controlling ant behaviour (2009, background): “Existing compilations of floral and ⁄or pollen volatiles (Dobson & Bergström 2000; Knudsen et al. 2006) do contain some compounds that are known to affect some ant behaviours or to act as components of ant pheromones or defensive secretions.”
• Floral scents repel potentially nectar-thieving ants (2008, background): “Eight commercially available pure substances were tested that commonly occurred in our samples of floral scents and elsewhere (Knudsen et al., 2006).”
• Variation in natural plant products and the attraction of bodyguards involved in indirect plant defense (2010, background): “Overall, more than 1700 different volatile compounds are synthesized and can be released by vegetative and generative tissues of plants (Knudsen et al. 2006).”
• Air pollutants degrade floral scents and increase insect foraging times (2016, background): “Flowers typically release complex blends of volatile 3 compounds (Knudsen et al., 2006) that give each plant species unique and characteristic 4 fragrances.”
• mVOC 2.0: a database of microbial volatiles (2017, background): “Its strength becomes clear when compared with the ScentBase (21) or the Pherobase (22), which were established a long time ago without automatic update-procedures, while the mVOC database was only launched in 2014 and grew continuously.”
• Sites of synthesis, biochemistry and functional role of plant volatiles (2010, background): “Floral scent headspace samples show the presence of thousands chemical compounds belonging to seven major compound classes, of which the aliphatics, the benzenoids and phenylpropanoids, and, among the terpenes, the mono- and sesquiterpenes, occur in most orders of seeds plants (Knudsen et al., 2006)”
• Biological and Chemical Diversity of Biogenic Volatile Organic Emissions into the Atmosphere (2013, background): “Terrestrial ecosystems produce thousands of chemical species that can be emitted into the atmosphere [294] but only a few of these compounds are emitted at the rates required to have a significant impact on atmospheric composition [5].”
• Flies and Flowers II: Floral Attractants and Rewards (2014, background): “Odours are often liberated from flowers, either to attract pollinators from a distance or to direct them to certain portions of the flower (Dobson 1994; Dobson & Bergström 2000; Knudsen et al. 2006; Willmer 2011).”
