BioEnv-seminar: “The evolutionary ecology of floral scent”

Short summary

For a long time, research on floral scent was technically challenging, and largely inspired by studies of insect pheromones where single chemical compounds trigger specialized antennal receptor(s) that guide insect behavior. During recent decades, increased research attention has been paid to understanding the ecological function and evolutionary diversification of floral scent. In this talk, I will attempt to summarize a dozen years of ecological and evolutionary insights from our research group (and others), highlight the many unknowns still lingering in floral scent research, and discuss future challenges.
