Vittatalactone is the Male-Produced Aggregation Pheromone of the Western Striped Cucumber Beetle, Acalymma trivittatum
We found that vittatalactone, specifically (3 R ,4 R )-3-methyl-4-[(1 S ,3 S ,5 S )-1,3,5,7-tetramethyloctyl]oxetan-2-one, is the male-produced aggregation...

(1R,4R)-Quercivorol, a Male-Produced Aggregation-Sex Pheromone of the Beetle Elytrimitatrix undata (F.) (Coleoptera: Disteniidae)
The beetle family Disteniidae is currently considered to be closely related to the much larger family Cerambycidae, the longhorned beetles. The...

Aggregation pheromone interrupts death feigning in the red flour beetle Tribolium castaneum
Death feigning is a behavior in which a prey is rendered motionless due to stimulation or threat by a predator. This anti-predator defense mechanism...

A Polyketide Male-Produced Aggregation-Sex Pheromone Shared by the North American Cerambycid Beetle Graphisurus fasciatus and the South American Cerambycid Eutrypanus dorsalis
The longhorn beetle Graphisurus fasciatus (Degeer) ranges from southeastern Canada to Florida and west to Texas, and has frequently been caught...

Even- and odd-numbered fatty acids used as worker arrestant aggregation pheromone components in the Formosan subterranean termite Coptotermes formosanus
Pheromones play a pivotal role in coordinating collective activities. Recent research has demonstrated that workers of the Japanese subterranean...

Individual Variation in Male Pheromone Production in Xylocopa sonorina Correlates with size and Gland Color
Sex pheromones are species-specific chemical signals that facilitate the location, identification, and selection of mating partners. These pheromones...

Pheromone chemistry of the Neotropical cerambycid beetles Achryson surinamum and Sphaerion inerme
During field screening trials in Brazil, adults of both sexes of the cerambycid beetle Achryson surinamum (L.) (Cerambycinae: Achrysonini) were...

Population divergence in pheromone communication for mate choice of Tribolium castaneum and its association with gut bacteria
Intraspecific variation in pheromone communication is largely unexplored in Tribolium , but tap** into population divergence in chemical...

No Evidence of Responding Individuals Constraining the Evolution of the Pheromone Signal in the Pine Engraver Ips avulsus
Chemical signals are important mediators of interactions within forest ecosystems. In insects, pheromone signals mediate intraspecific interactions...

Methionol, a Sulfur-Containing Pheromone Component from the North American Cerambycid Beetle Knulliana cincta cincta
We describe the identification and field testing of 3-methylthiopropan-1-ol (methionol) as a male-produced aggregation-sex pheromone for the...

Prediction of a conserved pheromone receptor lineage from antennal transcriptomes of the pine sawyer genus Monochamus (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae)
Longhorned beetles (Cerambycidae) are a diverse family of wood-boring insects, many species of which produce volatile pheromones to attract mates...
