Abstract An investigation of the sex pheromone of the New Zealand Silver Y Moth Chrysodeixis erio­soma (Doubleday), formerly described as Plusia chalcites (Esper) resulted in the identification of the major active components as 7Z-and 9Z-dodecenyl acetates, in approx. 97:3 ratio. This blend was attractive to C. eriosoma males in the field and in a laboratory flight tunnel. 5Z-D odecenyl acetate and 7Z-dodecenyl alcohol inhibited this response in the field. C. eriosoma was also attract­ed to the 5:1 blend of 7Z-dodecenyl acetate and 9Z-tetradecenyl acetate reported as the phero­mone of Chrysodeixis (Plusia) chalcites in the western Palaearctic. Specialist receptor cells for all 5 compounds mentioned were found in male antennal sensilla in both species.

Abstract Planotortrix excessana was found to include moths of two distinct pheromone-types which were not mutually attractive. Tetradecyl acetate and (Z)-8-tetradecenyl acetate were identified as pheromone components in one, and two other tetradecenyl acetates, probably (Z)-5-and (Z)-7-tetradecenyl acetate, in the other. By contrast with other pheromones reported from the tribe Archipini,⊿11-tetradecenyl compounds were not found in either pheromone-type.

The racemate and individual enantiomers of 2-fluoro-Z-11-tetradecenyl acetate (2F-Z-11), analogs of a European corn borer moth, Ostrinia nubilalis (Hübner), female sex pheromone were compared with the natural pheromone, Z-11-tetradecenyl acetate, in field trapping experiments, flight tunnel studies, mating disruption assays and electrophysiological experiments. While the racemate and R-2F-Z-11 mimicked the natural female sex pheromone, they were not more biologically potent than the pheromone. The S-2F-Z-11 was largely ineffective in all assays and was, therefore, incompatible with the pheromone receptor system.

The responses of European corn borer, Ostrina nubilalis (Hübner), males in a flight tunnel to sex pheromone, [11-tetradecenyl acetate (97:3, Z:E)] was dependent upon the context in which the males were exposed to the stimulus. Males, held individually in isolation before being exposed to pheromone, flew upwind in the pheromone plume and landed on the pheromone source significantly more often than males caged with other males before exposure to the pheromone. When groups of males were simultaneously exposed to female sex pheromone, they responded, on a permale basis, with significantly more upwind flights to pheromone and intense behavior near the pheromone source than did males exposed to the pheromone individually. Heightened intensity of male response in group flight was independent of whether the males were individually isolated or caged with other males before being exposed to the pheromone. The enhanced behavioral output of males responding to pheromone in groups may represent an evolutionary adaptive advantage in instances where several males are simultaneously pursuing a single calling female.

The sex pheromone of Ctenopseustis obliquana was found to contain (Z)-8-tetradecenyl acetate and (Z)-5-tetradecenyl acetate in approximately 4:1 ratio. No A 11-tetradecenyl compound was detected in C. obliquana, in contrast with the pheromones thus far reported from species of the tribe Archipini elsewhere in the world.

Abstract The antennal Sensilla trichodea of male Eulia ministrana (Tortricidae: Cnephasiini) contain specialist receptor cells for the sex-attractant components (Z)-9-and (Z)-11-tetra-decenyl acetate and the attraction-inhibitors (E)-11 -tetra-decenyl acetate, (Z)-7-dodecenyl acetate, and (Z)-11 -hexa-decenyl acetate. The significance of the latter two compounds as potential sex pheromone components in Tortri­cidae is considered.

Abstract By means of gas chromatographic, mass spectroscopic methods and combined GCelectroantennogram techniques (Z)-11-tetradecenyl acetate and (Z)-11-tetradecenyl acetate were identified as the two biological active components of the sex pheromone of the female cosmopterigid moth Limnaecia phragmitella. The mixture of 95% (Z)-11-tetradecenyl acetate and 5% of the (Z)-isomer were analyzed in the gland of females and confirmed as the most attractive synthetic blend for males in field bioassays.

“Mechanisms of sensation” is the second chapter of the book Sensory Transduction and describes general features of sensory cells, including types of sensory membrane, the specialized organization of membrane and protein within sensory cells, membrane renewal, external specializations of sense cells, mechanisms of stimulus detection, primary and secondary receptor cells, and receptor sensitivity and noise. These general features of sensory cells are illustrated by specific examples taken from a wide variety of organisms, from scallop and crayfish to Drosophila and vertebrates including mammals. The chapter concludes with a description of sex pheromone detection in the male moth, which achieves the physical limit of sensitivity of the receptor to a single molecule of attractant.

Main Component

In electroantennographic studies on Tortrix viridana ma­les, (E)-11-tridecenyl acetate displayed the highest activity of all straight-chain alkenyl acetates. However, evidence obtained by gas chromatography coupled to an electroan­tennographic detector or a mass spectrometer indicated that the ubiquitous pheromone compound (Z)-11-tetrade- cenyl acetate is the main component in the T. viridana fe­male secretion. This compound and both (Z)- and (E)-11- tridecenyl acetate were found to be attractants for T. viridana males in the field. (Z)-9- and (E)-11-tetradecenyl acetate were not attractive and reduced male catches when added to either (Z)-11-tetradecenyl acetate or (E)-11-tridecenyl acetate. No evidence for synergistic effects was obtained.
