Sex pheromone specificity: taxonomic and evolutionary aspects in lepidoptera |
|
| Authors: | Roelofs W L Comeau A |
| Abstract: | Sex pheromone specificity is the only obvious reproduction isolating mechanism for two tortricid species and two gelechiid species. Pheromones of the gelechiid species are cis-9-tetradecenyl acetate and trans-9-tetradecenyl acetate. Male response of one gelechiid species is inhibited by the pheromone of the other species. This could be important for sympatric evolutionary saltation. |
