A checklist is presented of floral scent compounds retrieved by head-space techniques and
separated and identified mainly by gas chromatography and mass spectrometry. The …

The great taxonomic diversity of the Orchidaceae is often attributed to adaptive radiation for
specific pollinators driven by selection for outcrossing. However, when one looks beyond the …

Orchidaceae show remarkable diversity in pollination strategies, but how these strategies
vary globally is not entirely clear. To identify regions and taxa that are data-rich and lend …

Humans have been fascinated by bees for centuries. Bees display a wide spectrum of
behaviours and ecological roles that have provided biologists with a vast amount of material …

A list of 1719 chemical compounds identified from headspace samples of floral scent is
presented. The list has been compiled from some 270 published papers, including analyses …

Epiphytes (plants which grow on other plants, not parasitically but for support), comprise
more than one-third of the total vascular flora in some tropical forests. Growing within tropical …

This review discusses the occurrence and distribution (within a plant) of methyl eugenol in
different plant species (> 450) from 80 families spanning many plant orders, as well as …

Floral scent from 15 moth-pollinated species in nine families was collected by head-space
adsorption. The chemical composition was determined by coupled gas chromatography …

Orchids display many unsurpassed floral specializations, as both rewarders and frauds in
their interaction with animal pollinators. Accumulating evidence indicates that their floral …

▪ Abstract Insects of the order Hymenoptera are biologically and economically important
members of natural and agro ecosystems and exhibit diverse biologies, mating systems, and …
