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

Plants face critical trade-offs, as floral chemicals mediate similar information to both mutualists and antagonists, particularly through attractive, and fewer repellent, FVOCs. Furthermore, florivores may detect more FVOCs, whose richness is correlated to reward chemical richness. FVOC chemodiversity is potentially informative of reward traits. To better understand the ecological processes shaping floral chemical displays, more research is needed on floral antagonists of diverse plant species, and on the role of floral chemodiversity towards visitor responses.
