Behavioural and electrophysiological activity of unsaturated analogues of the pheromone tetradecyl acetate in the small ermine moth Yponomeuta rorellus

Abstract: In field‐trapping experiments the unsaturated analogues (E)‐6‐, (E)‐12‐, and (Z)‐12‐tetradecenyl acetate were as attractive to male Yponomeuta rorellus Latr. as the native pheromone component tetradecyl acetate. All four analogues attracted more males than virgin females did, whereas (Z)‐6‐, (E)‐11‐, (Z)‐10‐ and (Z)‐11‐tetradecenyl acetate were essentially non‐attractive. Addition of 1–30% of (Z)‐11‐tetradecenyl acetate to the pheromone tetradecyl acetate reduced the attraction to less than 2%. Flight tunnel e… Show more

“…Male Y. rorellus antennae do have an abundance of receptor neurons that are stimulated by tetradecyl acetate (21). What sets this particular type of neuron apart from the typical lepidopteran sex pheromone receptor neuron, however, is that it is at least as responsive to the (E)-and (Z)-11-tetradecenyl acetate molecules emitted by other sympatric Yponomeuta species as to its own saturated tetradecyl acetate pheromone (21).…”

“…The activity of this neuron has been conjectured to be the factor preventing these two compounds from attracting Y. rorellus males despite the ability of these compounds to excite the tetradecyl acetate pheromone receptor neuron (21). Neither (Z)-nor (E)-12-tetradecenyl acetate activates the antagonistic neuron, but, as mentioned, both compounds do excite the tetradecyl acetate pheromone receptor neuron.…”
