Biogenic volatile organic compounds in the Earth system. (2009, background): “Roles of BVOCs in plant reproduction To ensure reproductive success, flowering plants release a myriad of BVOCs from their flowers in order to attract pollinators (Wright et al., 2005) and to assist them to identify conspecific flowers whilst foraging (Andersson et al., 2002).”
Floral scents repel potentially nectar-thieving ants (2008, background): “For instance, linalool in concentrations as they occurred in our samples was highly repellent to all three ant species tested, but clearly attracts several pollinators such as butterflies (Andersson et al., 2002) and honeybees (Laloi et al.”
Behavioral and electrophysiological responses of the emerald ash borer, Agrilus planipennis, to induced volatiles of Manchurian ash, Fraxinus mandshurica (2006, background): “The two antennally-active nitrogenous compounds, 3-methyl-butylaldoxime and 2-methyl-butylaldoxime, are natural scents of night-active flowers and are attractive to pollinators (Andersson et al. 2002).”
Diversity and distribution of floral scent (2006, unknown): “[21, 94, 142] Gesneriaceae Gloxinia perennis (L.) Fritsch [77] Lamiaceae Agastache foeniculum [261] A. rugosa [261] A. rugosa × foeniculum [261] Origanum vulgare L. [5] Oleaceae Jasminum grandiflorum L. [113, 176, 178] J. officinale [108] J. polyanthum Franch.”
The evolution of floral scent: the influence of olfactory learning by insect pollinators on the honest signalling of floral rewards (2009, background): “2005a; Dobson 2006), unrelated plant species may also convergently evolve floral scents with common volatile compounds as a result of selection by a specific pollinator clientele (Andersson et al. 2002; Fenster et al. 2004; Dobson 2006).”
