Synthesis of syn-4,6-dimethyldodecanal, the male sex pheromone and trail-following pheromone of two species of the termite Zootermopsis [PDF]
Recently, we reported that syn-4,6-dimethyldodecanal is the male sex pheromone and the trail-following pheromone of the Termopsidae Zootermopsis nevadensis and Zootermopsis angusticollis.

Non-target Bark Beetles in Ips duplicatus (Sahlberg) Pheromone Traps Baited with Host Volatiles
Response of several non-target bark beetles (Coleoptera: Curculionidae, Scolytinae) to different combinations of the northern spruce bark beetle’s synthetic pheromone with the monoterpenes (-)-alpha-pinene and (+)-limonene has been studied in choice ...

ICS Material: Pheromone lure and sticky traps for Frankiniella occidentalis [PDF]
This brochure shows how the product has developed by changing the material from that the pheromone is released from - rubber to a plastic ring that allows a slower and more even release of pheromone.

Identification of Pheromone Synergists for Rhynchophorus ferrugineus Trapping Systems from Phoenix canariensis Palm Volatiles [PDF]
[EN] Trapping systems for the red palm weevil, Rhynchophorus ferrugineus Olivier, rely on the use of natural plant odor sources to boost the attractiveness of the aggregation pheromone.

Epigenetics as an answer to Darwin’s ‘special difficulty’
Epigenetic modifications produce distinct phenotypes from the same genome through genome-wide transcriptional control. Recently, DNA methylation in honeybees and histone modifications in ants were found to assist the formation of caste phenotypes during ...

Pheromone detection by a male moth is altered by a plant odorant background. [PDF]
Male moths recognize and localize conspecific females by detecting a volatile sex pheromone. This pheromone is a blend of a few components appearing in specific ratios.

A Blend of F Prostaglandins Functions as an Attractive Sex Pheromone in Silver Carp
A series of laboratory experiments tested the hypothesis that the Silver Carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix), an invasive river carp from China, employs a prostaglandin F2α-derived sex pheromone that is attractive and species-specific.

Response of Tuta absoluta (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae) to Different Pheromone Emission Levels in Greenhouse Tomato Crops [PDF]
The response of Tuta absoluta (Meyrick) (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae) to different emission rates of its pheromone, (3E, 8Z, 11Z)-tetradecatrienyl acetate, was measured in two greenhouse trials with traps baited with mesoporous dispensers. For this purpose,
