Floral derived compounds as attractants for agricultural pests in the family Noctuidae
… are significant agricultural pests. Specific floral volatiles are attractive to both male and female Noctuidae and may be used to as attractants in crop protection. For the first time the following research compares two types of floral volatile blends - those that mimic natural floral odours …

Importance of floral scent compounds for the interaction between Silene latifolia (Caryophyllaceae) and the nursery pollinator Hadena bicruris (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)
In the present study, the role of floral volatiles for the interaction between the nocturnal Caryophyllaceae Silene latifolia, and the noctuid moth Hadena bicruris was determined. This insect-plant relationship is one of the known nursery pollination systems, where pollinators reproduce within the …

Silene otites (Caryophyllaceae): Attraction of nectar-seeking mosquitoes to inflorescence odours, and temporal variation of flower scent and flower visitors
… 4). Although S. otites emits highest amounts of floral volatiles at night, just after sunset, it also emits a smaller amount of volatiles during day-time. Interestingly, the temporal variations differed among scent compounds where five different emission patterns of compounds could be …

Effects of systemic fungicides on floral attributes, pollination and fruit aroma in strawberries
… contact with the substance and contaminate floral rewards for pollinators, thus directly impairing the pollinators’ health. Also, the treated plants can be affected by the fungicide, changing their metabolism and/or photosynthesis. It can therefore be expected that the plant-pollinator …

Moth pollination, low seed set, and vestigialization of attractive floral traits in Abronia umbellata (Nyctaginaceae)
… Pollination syndromes are collections of floral traits (e.g. flower colour, shape, odour) that are associated with a plant attracting particular functional groups of animal pollinators. We explored the extent to which traits associated with the moth pollination syndrome translated into …
