Weed-insect pollinator networks as bio-indicators of ecological sustainability in agriculture. A review (2016, methodology): “Finally, using of olfactory signals provides more fitness advantages to both plant and pollinator than using of visual signals alone (Wright and Schiestl 2009).”
Assessment of pollen rewards by foraging bees (2017, background): “In general, floral odours provide important cues that can guide pollinator foraging decisions (Raguso 2008; Wright & Schiestl 2009) and are undoubtedly important sensory stimuli for bees.”
Deciphering Chemical Language of Plant Communication (2016, background): “In fact, Copolovici et al. (2012) demonstrated that exposure of S.”
Air pollutants degrade floral scents and increase insect foraging times (2016, background): “Once released into the 14 atmosphere, floral hydrocarbons play key ecological roles such as attraction of pollinators and 15 seed dispersers, defense against herbivores, protection against pathogens, and plant-to-plant 16 signaling (Dötterl and Vereecken, 2010; Wright and Schiestl, 2009).”
Plant secondary metabolites in nectar: impacts on pollinators and ecological functions (2017, background): “Attraction and fidelity to a particular plant species, however, is enhanced by the co-occurrence of nectar and floral traits such as odours (Wright & Schiestl 2009; Kessler et al. 2015a).”
