Quantification of monoterpene emission sources in response to drought
Monoterpene emissions from conifer tree species (from de novo synthesis and storage pools) play an important role in plant ecology and physiology. During drought stress the two emission sources are affected differently...

Something in the air? Volatiles influence mollusc attack on seedlings
Although pulmonate molluscs are the principal seedling herbivores in temperate grasslands and agriculture, we understand little about what drives seedling selection. Shannon et al. examined the roles of constitutive...
