The sweet smell of success: floral scent affects pollinator attraction and seed fitness in Hesperis matronalis (2009, background): “Such research continues to be rare, reflecting a disconnection between the fields of pollination ecology and floral chemistry (as reviewed in Raguso 2008).”
Private channel: a single unusual compound assures specific pollinator attraction in Ficus semicordata (2009, background): “Floral scents are complex blends of volatile organic com- pounds which have been suggested to be an ancient medium of chemical communication in plant–pollinator interactions (Pellmyr & Thien 1986; Visser 1986; Dobson 1994; Raguso 2001, 2008b; Knudsen et al. 2006).”
Floral scents: their roles in nursery pollination mutualisms (2010, background): “As is the case for most pollination interactions [with the notable exception of those involving orchids (Dodson et al. 1969)], chemical ecology has only recently been integrated into studies of nursery pollination (Raguso 2008a).”
