    Chemical signal is in the blend: bases of plant-pollinator encounter in a highly specialized interaction

    Study system This study was carried out in the region of Montpellier, southern France, with insects from natural populations collected in fig trees present at the CEFE (“Centre d’Ecologie Fonctionnelle et Evolutive”) experimental garden (43°38′19″N, 3°51′49″E) in Montpellier, France, and from natural populations less than 40 km distant from Montpellier. Our model system is the mutualistic […] More
