Tools to Tie: Flower Characteristics, VOC Emission Profile, and Glandular Trichomes of Two Mexican <i>Salvia</i> Species to Attract Bees

Tools to Tie: Flower Characteristics, VOC Emission Profile, and Glandular Trichomes of Two Mexican <i>Salvia</i> Species to Attract Bees

A plant can combine physical and chemical tools to interact with other organisms. Some are designed for pollinator attraction (i.e., colors and volatile organic compounds-VOCs); others can act to discourage herbivores (i.e., non-glandular trichomes). Few studies fully address available tools in a si...
