TL;DR: The results show that queen pheromones are strikingly conserved across at least three independent origins of eusociality, with wasps, ants, and some bees all appearing to use nonvolatile, saturated hydrocarbons to advertise fecundity and/or suppress worker reproduction.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identification of the Sex Pheromone of a Protected Species, the Spanish Moon Moth Graellsia isabellae
Jocelyn G. Millar,J. Steven McElfresh,Carmen Romero,Marta Vila,Neus Marí-Mena,Carlos Lopez-Vaamonde +5 more
TL;DR: In preliminary field trials, lures loaded with this compound attracted male moths from populations of this species at a number of widely separated field sites in France, Switzerland, and Spain, clearly demonstrating the utility of pheromones in sampling potentially endangered insect species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identification of an Important Component of the Contact Sex Pheromone of Callidiellum rufipenne (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae)
TL;DR: Findings suggest that contact pheromones mediate mate recognition in this species, and 5,17-Dimethylnonacosane was a key sex-specific component in extracts of females, and synthetic 5, 17-dimethylnonACosane elicited a strong mating response from males.
