Innate olfactory preferences for flowers matching proboscis length ensure optimal energy gain in a hawkmoth

Foraging is energetically demanding for animals like hawkmoths that feed while flying. Here, Haverkamp et al. show that Manduca sexta has an innate preference for feeding on species of Nicotianawhose flower corolla length best matches the length of their proboscis, which allowed more efficient forag...
