“…In some species the rate of pheromone release from the specimens is the species-specific cue. Klun & Robinson (1972) reported an example of male discrimination among release rates in leafroller species. Cis-11-tetradecenyl acetate was most attractive to male oblique banded leafrollers Choristoneura rosaceana at high pheromone release rates, whereas the European corn borer Ostrinia nubialis was most attracted to low concentrations.…”

About 50 volatile compounds of the coelomic fluid of npe Nereis succinea were concentrated with a closed loop stripping technique and identified by coupled gas chromatography and mass spectroscopy. Gas chromatographic analysis showed the similarity of the volatile compounds of coelomic fluid of N. succinea and Platynereis dumerilii. The sex pheromone of P, dumerilii, 5-methyl-3-heptanone, was likewise found in N. succinea where it is also biologically active -it induces an increase of activity in the nuptial dance behaviour and the release of a small cloud of sperm in males. In N. succinea the threshold concentration is about 25 times higher than in P. dumerilii. In these 2 nereid species, living and reproducing in the same area, 5-methyl-3-heptanone plays an important role in species recognition and reproductive isolation.

“…Indeed, the ECB most likely evolved from an ancestral species that used a blend of Z9-14:OAc and Z/E11-14:OAc as pheromone components (Ishikawa et al, 1999b). Early data showed clearly that the addition of Z9-14:OAc reduced the attraction of ECB males to their sex pheromone blend (Klun and Robinson, 1972;Struble et al, 1987;Glover et al, 1989). Electrophysiological recordings suggested that males possess receptors that respond to Z9-14:OAc (Struble et al, 1987).…”

The European corn borer Ostrinia nubilalis (ECB; Lepidoptera: Crambidae) is a widely recognized pest of agricultural significance over much of the northern hemisphere. Because of the potential value of pheromone-based control, there has been considerable effort devoted to elucidation of the ECB chemical ecology. The species is polymorphic regarding its female-produced pheromone. Partly because of this feature, over the years the ECB has become a model to study pheromone evolution. This review should assist in identifying new areas of pheromone research by providing an overview of the literature produced on this subject for the ECB since the late 1960's.

“…In contrast to this species, the Asian corn borer, O. furnacalis, employs the positional isomers E12-and Z12-14:OAc as its sex pheromone components, at a ratio varying from 1:1 (Cheng et al, 1981;Klun et al, 1980;Kou et al, 1992) to 2:3 (Ando et al, 1980) depending upon the geographic population. In addition to these species, the smartweed borer, O. obumbratalis, is known to be attracted in the field by a mixture of E11-and Z11-14:OAc at a ratio of 1:1, although the natural composition in the sex pheromone gland is unknown (Klun & Robinson, 1972).…”

To contribute to the understanding of the genus Ostrinia (Lepidoptera; Pyralidae) in Japan, we collected larvae of Ostrinia spp. from known host plants and plants not recorded as hosts, and we examined the morphology and sex pheromones of the adults obtained. Consequently, the host plant ranges of the 7 Ostrinia spp. in Japan were clarified, and the sex pheromones of the 5 species O. scapulalis, O. zealis, O. zaguliaevi, O. palustralis and O. latipennis were identified in addition to that of the Asian corn borer O. furnacalis. The phylogenetic relationships of Japanese Ostrinia spp., with reference to the European corn borer O. nubilalis, are discussed based on these findings and results of molecular phylogenetic analyses.
