Plant secondary metabolites (PSMs) play a central role in seed dispersal and fruit defense,
with potential for large impacts on plant fitness and demography. Yet because PSMs can …

Premise The scents of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are an important component of
ripe fleshy fruit attractiveness, yet their variation across closely related wild species is poorly …

Although evolvability of genes and traits may promote specialization during species
diversification, how ecology subsequently restricts such variation remains unclear …

Ripe fleshy fruits contain not only nutrients but also a diverse array of secondary
metabolites. Nutrients serve as a reward for mutualists, whereas defensive metabolites …

Mammalian olfactory receptor genes (OR s) are a diverse family of genes encoding proteins
that directly interact with environmental chemical cues. OR s evolve via gene duplication in a …

Bats are important pest control agents in agriculture. Yet, the underlying fine‐scale biotic
and abiotic mechanisms that drive their foraging behaviors and responses to insect …

The ecological interaction between fleshy fruits and frugivores is influenced by diverse
mixtures of secondary metabolites that naturally occur in the fruit pulp. Although some fruit …

Aeroscapes—dynamic patterns of air speed and direction—form a critical component of
landscape ecology by shaping numerous animal behaviors, including movement, foraging …

Tropical deforestation is occurring at alarming rates, creating an urgent need for global
prioritization of tropical restoration efforts. One forest recovery strategy is to boost seed …
