Significant progress has been made in understanding the cues involved in the host and
mate seeking behaviors of spotted wing drosophila, Drosophila suzukii (Matsumura). This …

Bees and angiosperms have shared a long and intertwined evolutionary history and their
interactions have resulted in remarkable adaptations. Yet, at a time when the “pollination …

Pollinators visit flowers for rewards and should therefore have a preference for floral signals
that indicate reward status, so called 'honest signals'. We investigated honest signalling in …

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 …

Floral volatiles are complex, multi‐functional signals that are often used by pollinators in
combination with other signals, such as color. Floral visitors use floral scent to estimate the …

Karl von Frisch's studies of bees' color vision and chemical senses opened a window into
the perceptual world of a species other than our own. A century of subsequent research on …

Plants produce and emit a large variety of volatile organic compounds that play key roles in
interactions with abiotic and biotic environments. One of these roles is the attraction of …

Existem visitantes florais que coletam recursos em flores sem realizar polinização, e
também há espécies de plantas que atraem polinizadores sem oferecer qualquer recurso. A …

Abstract Background and Aims Ornamental flowering plant species are often used in
managed greenspaces to attract and support pollinator populations. In natural systems …

Pollination is often regarded as a mutualistic relationship between flowering plants and
insects. In such a relationship, both partners gain a fitness benefit as a result of their …
