• Floral volatiles play a key role in specialized ant pollination (2014, background): “In line with he prevailing detrimental role attributed to ants when they interct with flowers, floral volatiles have been shown to act as repellent llomones (Willmer and Stone, 1997; Junker and Blüthgen, 2008; illmer et al., 2009; Junker et al., 2011b).”
• Working Towards a Holistic View on Flower Traits— How Floral Scents Mediate Plant-Animal Interactions in Concert with Other Floral Characters (2015, background): “For example, flowers may either restrict access to their rewards through morphology or protect easily accessed rewards with repellent compounds.(19,37,181) However, constraints on one aspect of the floral phenotype (either biotic or abiotic) may set a context for evolution of other aspects of the fl”
