Journal ArticleDOI
Stereoselective synthesis of the obscure mealybug pheromone by hydrogenation of a tetrasubstituted alkene precursor
Yunfan Zou,Jocelyn G. Millar +1 more
TL;DR: An improved diastereoselective synthesis of (1R∗,2R ∗,3S∗)-1-acetoxymethyl-2,3,4, 4, 4-tetramethylcyclopentane, the sex pheromone of the obscure mealybug, Pseudococcus viburni, is described in this article.
Journal ArticleDOI
Conserved male-specific cuticular hydrocarbon patterns in the trap-jaw ant Odontomachus brunneus
TL;DR: Male-specific cuticular hydrocarbon patterns for the trap-jaw ant Odontomachus brunneus are reported, demonstrating that male-specific overabundance of four hydrocarbons is conserved across populations despite population-level divergence of the remainder of the profile.
Journal ArticleDOI
Syntheses and determination of absolute configurations and biological activities of the enantiomers of the longtailed mealybug pheromone.
Remya Ramesh,Pandrangi Siva Swaroop,Rajesh G. Gonnade,Choppari Thirupathi,Rebeccah A. Waterworth,Jocelyn G. Millar,D. Srinivasa Reddy +6 more
TL;DR: Comparison of the biological activities of both enantiomers and the racemate in field trials showed that the (S)-(+)-enantiomer was highly attractive to male mealybugs, strongly suggesting that female longtailed mealybug produce this enantiomer.
Journal ArticleDOI
Development of a High-Throughput Laboratory Bioassay for Testing Potential Attractants for Terrestrial Snails and Slugs.
TL;DR: Ch chopped cucumber was as attractive or more attractive than any other substrate tested, and chopped fresh cucumber (Cucumis sativus) was the most attractive substrate for both species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sex Attractant Pheromone of Saturniid Moth Coloradia velda
TL;DR: The female-produced sex attractant pheromone of Coloradia velda has been identified by a combination of analytical methods and field tests as a blend of ( 10E,12Z)-hexadecadien-1-yl acetate, (10E, 12Z–16:Ac), (10 E,12E)- hexadec adenine acetate and (10e, 12E–16):Ac in a 10:1:0.33 ratio.
