  1. The best phylogenetically informed generalized least-squares models according to AIC are presented. The AIC value of the null model (~1) is provided for comparison. %Compound class: the percentage of compounds of this class in the total floral emissions. Significant P-values (>0.050) are indicated in bold. Positive or negative relationships are given (slope +: >0, –: <0). For details on the predictors, see Methods and the Supplementary Information
