许多被子植物的繁殖依赖于吸引提供授粉和种子传播服务的动物。花和肉质果实呈现出各种各样的特征，可以通过视觉，嗅觉，听觉和触觉的线索和信号吸引动物互利主义者，其中一些特征可能是传粉者和种子传播者选择的结果。植物引诱剂可以提供关于奖励的存在、位置和质量的信息。然而，由于授粉和种子传播的不同功能结果，授粉系统被认为比种子传播系统更高度专业化。尽管有这些有趣的相似之处和对比，授粉和种子传播的感觉生态学的理论和经验见解很少被考虑在一起。在这里，我们回顾了现有的理论和数据的感觉引诱授粉和种子传播系统。我们讨论了授粉和种子传播之间的理论和经验的相似性和差异，并提供建议的方式，从每一个领域的见解可能有利于其他在未来。
Reproduction in many angiosperms depends on attracting animals that provide pollination and seed dispersal services. Flowers and fleshy fruits present various features that can attract animal mutualists through visual, olfactory, acoustic, and tactile cues and signals, and some of these traits may result from selection exerted by pollinators and seed dispersers. Plant attractants can provide information regarding the presence, location, and quality of the reward. However, because of the different functional outcomes of pollination and seed dispersal, pollination systems are thought to be more highly specialized than seed dispersal systems. Despite these interesting parallels and contrasts, theoretical and empirical insights in the sensory ecology of pollination and seed dispersal are rarely considered together. Here, we review extant theory and data of sensory attractants from both pollination and seed dispersal systems. We discuss theoretical and empirical similarities and differences between pollination and seed dispersal and offer suggestions for ways in which insights from each field may benefit the other in future.
