Abstract | There is growing evidence to suggest that common air pollutants, such as ozone (O3) and diesel exhaust, can chemically alter a range of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) that are used by insects to navigate towards floral resources, hosts, mates etc. To-date, most of the chemical analyses in these studies have been confined to reaction chambers and flow tubes, which do not account for the physical structure of an odour plume. However, it is known that plume structure can significantly influence the success of an insect in locating an odour source. |
