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 …

Currently, a global analysis of the information available on the relative composition of the
floral scents of a very diverse variety of plant species is missing. Such analysis may reveal …

The ability of flowering plants to prosper throughout their long evolution has been strongly
dependent on the constant development of strategies to lure pollinators. This has led to the …

The study explores whether or not there are convergent patterns in floral scent composition
among plant species that completely or partially rely on butterflies for pollination. Floral scent …

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 …

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 …

This chapter reviews the structures and abundances of the chemical compound groups in a
wider range of plants, and discusses various aspects of variation in floral scent chemistry …

Abstract Background and Aims Among the various floral traits involved in pollinator attraction
and potentially under selection mediated by pollinators, floral scent/fragrance has been less …

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 …

This chapter reviews knowledge of the role that floral odors play in insect-flower
associations, with special emphasis on empirically obtained evidence; the circumstantial …
