Resolving taxa in a challenging orchid species complex using evidence from phylogenetics, morphometrics and floral scent chemistry

open access: yesTAXON, EarlyView.
Abstract Species can be difficult to circumscribe using morphology alone, and additional data can thus be useful for resolving challenging species complexes. Here we provide a case study of a South African orchid species complex which we resolved by analysing morphology, floral scent chemistry and molecular data.

Both synergism and interaction diversity explain the mixtures of defensive monoterpenes in spruce oleoresin

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Chemical defences, such as the monoterpenes of conifer oleoresin, frequently occur as complex blends of many components, but the selective pressures that maintain these mixtures are not yet known.

More than fruity scents: Pollination biology, scent, and spectral reflectance of Annonaceae species

open access: yesPlant Species Biology, EarlyView.
We characterised the floral visual and olfactory cues of numerous Annonaceae species and reported their pollinators. We further assessed the olfactory space of most Annonaceae species available in the literature. Abstract The family Annonaceae possesses a broad array of floral phenotypes and pollination specializations, and are important in the plant ...

Potential of alternative control of leaf‐cutting ants using essential oils: A systematic review

open access: yesAgricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
Abstract Leaf‐cutting ants (LCAs) are abundant and cause considerable damage to agricultural and forest crops in the Neotropical region and are commonly controlled using sulfluramid‐based ant baits. However, this active ingredient is a precursor of perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS), a persistent, human‐made pollutant that poses serious environmental
