Despite the widespread notion that animal-mediated seed dispersal led to the evolution of fruit traits that attract mutualistic frugivores, the dispersal syndrome hypothesis remains controversial, particularly for complex traits such as fruit scent. Here, we test this hypothesis in a community of mutualistic, ecologically important neotropical bats (Carolliaspp.) and plants (Piperspp.) that communicate primarily via chemical signals. We found greater bat consumption is significantly associated with scent chemical diversity and presence of specific compounds, which fit multi-peak selective regime models inPiper. Through behavioural assays, we foundCarolliaprefer certain compounds, particularly 2-heptanol, which evolved as a unique feature of twoPiperspecies highly consumed by these bats. Thus, we demonstrate that volatile compounds emitted by neotropicalPiperfruits evolved in tandem with seed dispersal by scent-orientedCarolliabats. Specifically, fruit scent chemistry in somePiperspecies fits adaptive evolutionary scenarios consistent with a dispersal syndrome hypothesis. While other abiotic and biotic processes likely shaped the chemical composition of ripe fruit scent inPiper, our results provide some of the first evidence of the effect of bat frugivory on plant chemical diversity.
