Crab spiders impact floral-signal evolution indirectly through removal of florivores
Crab spiders can reduce pollination and thus have been suggested to select against the floral traits that attract them. Here, the authors instead find evidence of local adaptation of buckler mustard plants to increase attraction of crab spiders by emission of the floral volatile β-ocimene when infes...

Here, the authors instead find evidence of local adaptation of buckler mustard plants to increase attraction of crab spiders by emission of the floral volatile β-ocimene when infested by florivores. |
