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 …

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 …

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 …

Bees use floral cues, such as odour, colour, size and shape, to discriminate and recognize
flowers. The interplay between visual and olfactory cues in social as well as in solitary bee …

Chemical signals emitted by plants are crucial to understand the ecology and evolution of
plant–animal interactions. Scent is an important component of floral phenotype and …

Although research on plant volatiles and pollination ecology has grown explosively over the
past 15 years, there remains little dialogue between these fields. Here I examine the …

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 …

Pollination of several angiosperms is based on deceit. In such systems, the flowers advertise
a reward that ultimately is not provided. We report on a previously unknown …

The interaction between floral oil secreting plants and oil-collecting bees is one of the most
specialized of all pollination mutualisms. Yet, the specific stimuli used by the bees to locate …
