Floral scent divergence across an elevational hybrid zone with varying pollinators
Divergence in floral traits attractive to different pollinators can promote reproductive isolation in related species. When isolation is incomplete,...

Heat-altered scent marks of males of a fossorial reptile still allow recognition by females but lose information on male quality
The efficacy of sexual signals in communication is often maximized under specific environmental conditions. Anthropic alterations of these conditions...

Fruit scent as an honest signal for fruit quality
BackgroundFleshy fruits evolved to be attractive to seed dispersers through various signals such as color and scent. Signals can evolve through...
