The colorful,nutrient-rich peels of citrus fruits have long been valued for their tangy flavors and aromatic oils.These oils are produced and stored in special secretory structures called oil glands,which are prevalen...
Chemical defenses are frequently accompanied by salient color patterns actively avoided by predators,a phe-nomenon referred to as aposematism.However,the production of both chemical defenses and pigments is costly,and...
