Geographic variation in floral scent reinforces local pollinator attraction in the fig–fig wasp mutualism [PDF]
BMC Ecology and EvolutionBackground Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted during floral receptivity are crucial for attracting pollinators, especially in brood-site pollination systems. Geographic variation in floral scent can alter host recognition cues, potentially shaping
