Aerial litter mimicry: A novel form of floral deception mediated by a monoterpene synthase
Journal of Ecology, Volume 113, Issue 2, Page 302-321, February 2025.We report the first pollination system in which a flower imitates aerial litter, which refers to the arboreal plant litter in a forest. Our findings demonstrated that Meiogyne heteropetala flower fooled the aerial litter specialist Loberus sharpi by mimicking aerial litter in size, colour and odour.
