Endeavour, 1977
Abstract It is well established that male moths are attracted to the females by physiologically highly active substances (pheromones) secreted by the latter. Research has revealed the chemical nature of many of these pheromones and much attention has been directed to putting them to practical use, with other methods, for the field control of pests.

Sex Pheromones of Two Noctuid Moths
Nature New Biology, 1973THE red bollworm moth, Diparopsis castanea Hmps. (Noctuidae), is a major cotton pest in south-eastern Africa. We reported previously that the female moth emits a complex attractant scent1. The active components of this scent have now been identified: (I) dodecan-1-yl acetate, CH3(CH2)11OOCCH3; (IIA) trans-9-dodecen-1-yl acetate, CH3CH2CH=CH(CH2)3 ...

Nomenclature of american cockroach sex pheromones
Tetrahedron Letters, 1990Abstract The American cockroach, Periplaneta americana, produces a multicomponent mixture as its sex pheromone. The publications of its identification by various groups have confused the nomenclature of the various compounds. Novel names are proposed for some of them: periplanone-A (IV-A), isoperiplanone-A (III-D), periplanone-C (V) and periplanone-D

Primate Sex Pheromones of Vaginal Origin
Nature, 1970EVIDENCE from field1–7 and laboratory8–14 studies suggests that the males of several primate species are aware of the endocrine condition of females. While both motor responses and the role of visual cues have received attention, the possibility that olfaction might communicate information about sexual status between consorts has only recently been ...

European corn borer sex pheromone
Journal of Chemical Ecology, 1989The biological activity of analogs of the pheromone components of the European corn borer,Ostrinia nubilalis, (Z)- and (E)-11-tetradecen1-ol acetate, in which modifications were made in the terminal alkyl portion were studied in the three pheromonal types of the insect.

Triunsaturated hydrocarbons, sex pheromone components ofCaenurgina erechtea
Journal of Chemical Ecology, 1983(Z,Z,Z)-3,6,9-Eicosatriene and (Z,Z,Z)-3,6,9-heneicosatriene have been identified as components of the sex pheromone of the noctuid,Caenurgina erechtea (Cramer), the forage looper. Structural assignments were made on the basis of spectroscopic and chromatographic data and were confirmed by comparison with synthetic material.

Evolution of Moth Sex Pheromone Desaturases
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2009Moth sex pheromone communication has evolved to use complex blends of relatively simple long‐chain fatty acid precursors. Species specificity is derived from the unique stereochemistry of double bonds introduced into exact locations along the hydrocarbon backbone of fatty acids, which are reduced and then undergo a variety of chain‐shortening and ...

Manipulating Sex Pheromones for Insect Suppression
Environmental Letters, 1975A review is given of different methods of using sex pheromones in pest control programs. Survey and monitoring traps have been used extensively for determining the presence and abundance of pest populations are commercially available. Pheromone trapping studies for insect suppression have shown success with some species and could be a useful tool in ...
