As with nearly all living creatures, humans have always been attracted and intrigued by floral scents. Yet, while we have been manufacturing perfumes for at least 5000 years to serve a myriad of religious, sexual, and medicinal purposes, until very recently, the limitation of our olfactory faculty has greatly hindered our capacity to clearly and ...

Antennal Responses to Floral Scents in the Butterfly Heliconius melpomene
Journal of Chemical Ecology, 2003Floral scent, together with visual floral cues, are important signals to adult butterflies searching for food-rewarding plants. To identify which compounds in a floral scent are more attractive and, thus, of biological importance to foraging butterflies, we applied electrophysiological methods.

Floral scent composition of Lilium sulphureum
Chemistry of Natural Compounds, 2013The genus Lilium (Liliaceae) comprises more than 100 species. Native Lilium species are spread over the Northern Hemisphere (10–60 ) and centered mainly in Asia, North America, and Europe [1, 2]. At present, lily is one of the most popular cut flowers in the world, and many modern lily cultivars originate from wild species.

The evolution of floral scent and insect chemical communication
Ecology Letters, 2010Ecology Letters(2010) 13: 643–656AbstractPlants have evolved a range of strategies to manipulate the behaviour of their insect partners. One powerful strategy is to produce signals that already have a role in the animals’ own communication systems. To investigate to what extent the evolution of floral scents is correlated with chemical communication in

WHY ARE SOME FLORAL NECTARS SCENTED?
Ecology, 2004Despite recent interest in the non-sugar components of floral nectar, nearly nothing is known about the ecological importance and phylogenetic distribution of scented nectar. If present, the scent of nectar would provide an honest signal to nectar-feeding animals.
