Working Towards a Holistic View on Flower Traits— How Floral Scents Mediate Plant-Animal Interactions in Concert with Other Floral Characters (2015, background): “be classified as melittophilous or myophilous.(15,17) Examples like this may explain why the phenotype of a large proportion of flowers fails to predict the most common pollinator.”
Air pollutants degrade floral scents and increase insect foraging times (2016, background): “6 For instance, flowers of the mustard plant family (Brassicaceae) typically emit nitrogen7 containing compounds (Dobson, 2006) while flowers of the dogbane family (Apocynaceae) 8 produce sulfur-containing compounds (Von Helversen et al.”
The sweet smell of success: floral scent affects pollinator attraction and seed fitness in Hesperis matronalis (2009, background): “2008), particularly for aromatic and terpenoid compounds (Dobson 2006).”
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).”
Start making scents: the challenge of integrating chemistry into pollination ecology (2008, unknown): “pollinators and florivores (reviewed by Metcalf & Metcalf, 1992; Adler, 2000; Dobson, 2006).”
