Signal and reward in wild fleshy fruits: Does fruit scent predict nutrient content?
1. Plant species with fleshy fruits offer animals rewards such as sugar, protein, and fat, to feed on their fruits and disperse their seeds. They have also evolved visual and olfactory signals indicating their presence and ripeness. 2. In some systems, fruit color serves as a reliable visual signal...
