The plant kingdom produces an extraordinary diversity of secondary metabolites and the
majority of the literature supports a defensive ecological role for them, particularly against …

Existing assessments of the ecosystem service of pollination have been largely restricted to
diurnal insects, with a particular focus on generalist foragers such as wild and honey bees …

Pollen plays two important roles in angiosperm reproduction, serving as a vehicle for the
plant's male gametes, but also, in many species, as a lure for pollen‐feeding animals …

Thrips (Thysanoptera) are small insects that can cause huge problems in agriculture,
horticulture, and forestry through feeding and the transmission of plant viruses. They …

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 …

In light of pollinator decline, plant species suitable for the restoration and conservation of
pollinators need to be selected. In this systemic review, we concentrated on the importance …

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

To meet the demand for novel pest management strategies to combat the development of
insecticide resistance, plant essential oils may be a promising alternative source. This study …

The ability to disperse is vital for all organisms, but especially for those whose habitats
deteriorate, necessitating relocation to better feeding or breeding sites. Phoresy is assisted …

Abstract The homoterpenes 4, 8‐dimethyl‐1, 3, 7‐nonatriene (DMNT) and 4, 8, 12‐trimethyl‐
1, 3, 7, 11‐tridecatetraene (TMTT) are volatile products of plant metabolism reported from …
