Abstract
Analyses of volatiles from hindguts of D. adjunctus revealed the presence of frontalin with trans -verbenol in feeding females and exo -brevicomin in emergent males. In field tests, both frontal in and exo -brevicomin were attractive, whereas no response to trans -verbenol could be shown. Males were more responsive to frontalin than to exo -brevicomin, and females were more responsive to exo -brevicomin.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
