Flower visitor groups show differential responses to individual and plot-level chemodiversity with consequences for plant fitness

This study examines how individual and plot-level chemodiversity affects pollinator and florivore visits and plant fitness in Tanacetum vulgare.

Chemodiversity in flowers of Tanacetum vulgare has consequences on a florivorous beetle

This study shows that different chemotypes of Tanacetum vulgare, defined by leaf terpenoids, also have distinct floral and pollen chemotypes that influence beetle preference and performance.

Influences of chemotype and parental genotype on metabolic fingerprints of tansy plants uncovered by predictive metabolomics.

This study identifies maternal genotype as a major source of chemical variation in tansy plants, revealing 184 predictive metabolite markers with 89% accuracy.

Inter-laboratory comparison of plant volatile analyses in the light of intra-specific chemodiversity

This study assesses the reproducibility of plant volatile organic compound (VOC) analysis across five laboratories using Tanacetum vulgare, finding high variation in VOC profiles and JA-induced changes.

Floral volatiles evoke partially similar responses in both florivores and pollinators and are correlated with non-volatile reward chemicals

The paper compares how pollinators and florivores respond to floral volatiles and non-volatile chemicals, finding florivores detect more volatiles and some compounds are attractive to both groups.
