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 …

Mimicry is a classic example of adaptation through natural selection. The traditional focus of
mimicry research has been on defence in animals, but there is now also a highly-developed …

Flowers are complex structures, synchronously displaying both olfactory and visual
signals/cues in the context of a particular floral morphology, that also vary in resource …

In dioecious, zoophilous plants potential pollinators have to be attracted to both sexes and
switch between individuals of both sexes for pollination to occur. It often has been suggested …

Apple flowers of most varieties require pollinator-mediated cross-pollination. However, little
is known about the cues used by pollinators to find the flowers. We used bioassays to …

BACKGROUND The tarnished plant bug Lygus lineolaris (Palisot de Beauvois) is
considered the most damaging pest of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) in the mid‐southern …

Reproduction in many angiosperms depends on attracting animals that provide pollination
and seed dispersal services. Flowers and fleshy fruits present various features that can …

Background Global warming is expected to impact the chemical communication between
flowering plants and their pollinators. Surprisingly, it is unknown whether and how …

Chemosensory communication between flowers and pollinators is a fundamental
component of terrestrial biodiversity, given the importance of olfaction to foraging animals. In …
