Covering: 2010 to 2023 Floral volatiles are a chemically diverse group of plant metabolites
that serve multiple functions. Their composition is shaped by environmental, ecological and …

Plants emit a large variety of volatile organic compounds during infection by pathogenic
microbes, including terpenes, aromatics, nitrogen‐containing compounds, and fatty acid …

Flowers have a high risk of pathogen attack because of their rich nutrient and moisture
content, and high frequency of insect visitors. We investigated the role of (E)‐β …

Comprising a substantial part of living biomass on earth, ants are integral to the functioning
of terrestrial ecosystems. More than 12,000 species have been described to date, and it is …

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are emitted by plants as a consequence of their
interaction with biotic and abiotic factors, and have a very important role in plant evolution …

Ecology Letters (2010) 13: 643–656 Abstract Plants have evolved a range of strategies to
manipulate the behaviour of their insect partners. One powerful strategy is to produce …

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 …

All mutualistic plant–animal interactions are mediated by costs and benefits in relationships
where resources (from plants) are exchanged by services (from animals). The most common …

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 …

Fragrance is a putatively important character in the evolution of flowering plants, but natural
selection on scent is rarely studied and thus poorly understood. We characterized floral …
