Do male and female flowers of Catasetum orchids differ in floral scent chemistry and emission?
Beauty is in the nose of the beholder
It’s no surprise that a flower releases scent to attract a pollinator, but why would it do it hours before the pollinator is around? New research finds scent can have more than one job.
Does a supergeneralist plant locally specialize on the most effective pollinators?

An orchid matches its scent emission rhythm to the local pollinators
Some flowers only smell at day and some only at night, but how did they evolve these different rhythms? In our study, we investigate if populations of the same orchid species that are more pollinated either at day or at night show different scent emission rhythms.
Floral scent variation in woodland stars
Reproductive traits important to coevolving interactions, such as the floral scent of L. bolanderi, may be more canalized than other traits important for plant fitness.
