The evolution of sexual signaling is linked to odorant receptor tuning in perfume-collecting orchid bees

Male orchid bees collect scents from the environment to attract females for mating. Here, Brand et al. combine population genomic, perfume chemistry, and functional analyses to show how divergence in odorant receptor genes may be driving reproductive divergence between two orchid bee species.
