Thom C, Gilley DC, Hooper J, Esch HE. The scent of the waggle dance. PLoS Biol. 2007;5(9):e228

What I like about this paper? A simple title. An abstract that is understandable. A detailed discussion that puts the results into a larger context. A cool research finding that increases our understanding of a fascinating biological phenomenon.

Earth-shatteringly, the paper also includes an author summary. I wonder whether this summary is really needed.

The waggle dance in action can be seen here.
