The majority of flowering plants relies on animal pollinators for sexual reproduction and
many animal pollinators rely on floral resources. However, interests of plants and pollinators …

Floral volatile terpenoids (FVTs) belong to a group of volatile organic compounds (VOC) that
play important roles in attracting pollinators, defending against pathogens and parasites and …

Terpenoids play important roles in flavour, pollinator attraction and defence of plants. In
cucumber (Cucumis sativus) they are important components of the herbivore‐induced plant …

The cognitive ecology of pollination is most often studied using simple rewards, yet flowers
often contain multiple types of chemically complex rewards, each varying along multiple …

Specialization in plant pollination systems can arise from traits that function as filters of
flower visitors. This may involve chemical traits such as floral volatiles that selectively attract …

Floral scent is a key mediator in plant-pollinator interactions. However, little is known to what
extent intraspecific scent variation is shaped by phenotypic selection, with no information yet …

Terpenoids, one of the most important plant volatiles, mediate the communication between
plants and pollinators, herbivores as well as pathogens. Recently, researchers have shown …

In flowering plants that produce concealed rewards, pollinator foraging preferences may
select for floral advertisement traits that are correlated with rewards. To date, studies have …

Plants advertise their presence by displaying attractive flowers, which pollinators use to
locate a floral reward. Understanding how floral traits scale with reward status lies at the …

Background Plants often use floral displays to attract mutualists and prevent antagonist
attacks. Chemical displays detectable from a distance include attractive or repellent floral …
