Schiestl FP 2015 Floral volatiles are complex, multi-functional signals that are often used by pollinators in combination with other signals, such as color. Floral visitors use floral scent to estimate the amount of reward present in flowers, to facilitate the identification of a specific host flower or as signals that chemically resemble those important for pollinator insects in other ecological contexts. There is good evidence that floral scent evolves under selection imposed by both mutualists and antagonists. Antagonists may often limit the amount of scent emitted by flowers, thus contributing to spatial population variation, and select for phenotypic plasticity after enemy attack. Floral scent is also an important component of pollinator-mediated reproductive isolation, as it often co-varies with color and morphology in sister species with different pollination systems. application/pdf https://sonar.ch/global/documents/193398 eng info:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/doi/10.1111/nph.13243 info:eu-repo/semantics/altIdentifier/pmid/25605223 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess The New phytologist. - 2015 floral isolation florivory herbivory pollination pre-existing bias reproductive isolation sensory drive volatile organic compounds (VOCs) Animals Biological Evolution Color Ecology Flowers Insecta Magnoliopsida Pollination Reproductive Isolation Symbiosis Volatile Organic Compounds Ecology and evolution of floral volatile-mediated information transfer in plants. http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501
