Abstract
Two tortricid moth species, Adoxophyes orana and Clepsis spectrana , utilize the same two isomers, cis -9- and cis -11-tetradecenyl acetate, as their sex attractant. Communication between the sexes of each species is separated effectively by a different blending of both compounds by the females and a different response to these blends by the males.Keywords
