Summary 1 A fundamental goal of ecological network research is to understand how the
complexity observed in nature can persist and how this affects ecosystem functioning. This is …

Plants live in association with microorganisms, which are well known as a rich source of
specialized metabolites, including volatile compounds. The increasing numbers of …

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 …

The Diptera are the second most important order among flower-visiting (anthophilous) and
flower-pollinating insects worldwide. Their taxonomic diversity ranges from Nematocera to …

Diptera are important flower visitors and pollinators for many plant species and in a variety of
habitats. Although Diptera are not as well studied as other groups of pollinators, there is a …

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 …

The attention of the global pollination community has been drawn to food safety and other
ecosystem services provided by pollinators, in light of decline in social bee populations …

This paper comprises Part II of a review of flower visitation and pollination by Diptera
(myiophily or myophily). While Part I examined taxonomic diversity of anthophilous flies …

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 …

Lack of standardization of floral scent analysis using dynamic headspace collection and GC-
MS has prevented meaningful biological comparisons of results from different studies. We …
