Exploring the importance of aromatic plants' extrafloral volatiles for pollinator attraction

New Phytologist, Volume 248, Issue 2, Page 517-528, October 2025.
Summary Aromatic plants occur in many plant lineages and have widespread ethnobiological significance. Yet, the ecological significance and evolutionary origins of aromatic volatile emissions remain uncertain. Aromatic emissions have been implicated in defensive interactions but may also have other important functions.

Ensuring Pollinator Presence in Expanding Oil Crops: The Case of Mystrops debilis (Nitidulidae) and the Macauba Palm (Acrocomia aculeata, Arecaceae)

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 149, Issue 8, Page 1180-1195, September 2025.
ABSTRACT The macauba palm (Acrocomia aculeata, Arecaceae) is a Neotropical native oil palm, increasingly important in Central and South America due to rising demand for raw materials and its potential for bioenergy. Understanding its pollinator ecology is crucial to identify new areas for cultivation. This study examines the structure of floral visitor
