a Phylogenetic tree of representative plants from the orders Piperales and Oxalidales. Dark green represents volatile plants; light green represents Piperales plants; light yellow represents Oxalidales plants. b Representative volatile plants in the order Piperales. c Ratio of volatile plants to total plants at the species and genus levels (Column Chart). Relative proportion of volatile plants in the orders Piperales and Oxalidales (Pie Chart). d Comparison of feeding trials (in parenthesis) with leaves from representative volatile plants. Twenty-three goats were tested with all leaf types twice to ensure reproducibility. Values preceding the dividing line represent the number of plant rejections by goats, while values following it denote the total presentations administered.
