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

Weed-insect pollinator networks as bio-indicators of ecological sustainability in agriculture. A review (2016, background): “Fragrance of their flowers is emitted in dynamic patterns that maximize pollinator attraction (Theis et al. 2007).”
The sweet smell of success: floral scent affects pollinator attraction and seed fitness in Hesperis matronalis (2009, background): “Observations of pollinator fauna on plants with known scent characteristics suggest that both day- (e.g., Galen & Kevan 1980; Pombal & Morellato 2000; Theis et al. 2007) and night-active floral visitors have distinct olfactory preferences (e.g., Knudsen & Tollsten 1993; Hoballah et al .”
Sniffing out patterns of sexual dimorphism in floral scent (2009, background): “after pollen was shed ( Theis, Lerdau, & Raguso 2007 ).”
Start making scents: the challenge of integrating chemistry into pollination ecology (2008, background): “Aromatic and sesquiterpenoid emissions peaked at mid-day, shortly after peak butterfly activity, but not during a second burst of swallowtail visitation in mid-afternoon (Theis et al., 2007).”
