is a Brazilian folk phytomedicine from Cerrado's "campus rupestris". Its volatile organic compounds includes bisabolene-derivatives as major compounds. Herein we provide the chemical profiling of constitutive volatile sesquiterpenes from leaves, timeframe emissions surveys, and pollinators records.

Nevertheless, concepts such as phenotype expression are also pivotal to understand how chemical diversity varies in a living organism. Sesquiterpene pyridine alkaloids (SPAs) and quinonemethide triterpenes (QMTs) accumulate in root bark of Celastraceae plants.

Technological and intellectual advances in the last two decades have enabled chemical signals analyses at several molecular levels, including gene expression, molecular diversity, and receptor affinity. These advances have also deepened our understanding of nature to encompass interactions at multiple organism levels across different taxa.

We predicted that describing the probability of a event that could be either A or B using the language of high likelihood ("80% A") rather than low likelihood ("20% B"), i.e.
