Currently, a global analysis of the information available on the relative composition of the
floral scents of a very diverse variety of plant species is missing. Such analysis may reveal …

Highlights•Linalool (3, 7-dimethyl-1, 6-octadien-3-ol) is a common floral volatile.•The two
enantiomers of linalool have different biosynthetic sources and biological functions.•Insects …

In several highly specialized plant-insect interactions, scent-mediated specificity of pollinator
attraction is directed by the emission and detection of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) …

Agricultural crop productivity relies on the application of chemical pesticides to reduce pest
and pathogen damage. However, chemical pesticides also pose a range of ecological …

Chemical communication is ubiquitous. The identification of conserved structural elements
in visual and acoustic communication is well established, but comparable information on …

Covering: up to September 2022 Orchids are renowned not only for their diversity of floral
forms, but also for their many and often highly specialised pollination strategies. Volatile …

The cognitive ecology of pollination is most often studied using simple rewards, yet flowers
often contain multiple types of chemically complex rewards, each varying along multiple …

One explanation for the evolution of complex floral morphology in orchids is that it can
function as a component of 'lock-and-key'mechanisms that ensure pollen transfer by specific …
