This paper explores the landscape of integrated sensory signals that are produced by
flowers, and the contextual information that modulates pollinator responses to such signals …

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 …

A unique and personal insight into the ecology and evolution of pollinators, their
relationships with flowers, and their conservation in a rapidly changing world. The …

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 …

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 …

This chapter provides a general survey of the literature of floral fragrance chemistry in
relation to pollinator type and presents a tentative effort to uncover possible associations …

As we enter the new millennium, plant biology is witnessing dramatic advancements in
studies related to the complex behaviour of higher plants which are now beginning to reveal …

By emitting strong fetid scents, sapromyiophilous flowers mimic brood and food sites of flies
to attract them as pollinators. To date, intensive comparative scent analyses have been …

Floral mimicry of decaying plant or animal material has evolved in many plant lineages and
exploits, for the purpose of pollination, insects seeking oviposition sites. Existing studies …

Coevolution is thought to be a major factor in shaping plant–pollinator interactions.
Alternatively, plants may have evolved traits that fitted pre-existing preferences or …
