“…Myrcene is converted sex-specifically by male D. brevicomis to (+)-ipsdienol, also a pheromone component of its competitor I. paraconfusus (Hughes 1973;Byers, 1982). (+)-Ipsdienol inhibits response of both D. brevicomis and I. pini to their synthetic aggregation pheromones (Birch et al, 1980a;Lanier et al, 1980;Byers, 1982). In Europe, ipsdienol, a pheromone component of I. duplicatus could act as an allomone to inhibit response of I. typographus Schlyter et al, 1992).…”

“…In P. chalcographus, methyl (E,Z)-2,4-decadienoate synergized chalcogran and increased its attractivity 35 times in a field bioassay, while methyl decadienoate alone was unattractive (Byers et al 1990). Communication via pheromones exhibits such high specificity that even slight changes in the ratio of enantiomeres have been associated with intraspecific differentiation (Lanier et al 1972, Birch et al 1980, Seybold et al 1995.…”

The six toothed bark beetle, Pityogenes chalcographus L. (Coleoptera: Scolytinae) is a widely distributed pest in Europe, infesting mainly Norway spruce (Picea abies) as well as other conifer species such as Pinus sp., Abies alba, Larix deciduas, L. sibirica and Pseudotsuga douglasii. Even though the distribution of this bark beetle coincides that of its main host tree, P. abies, the occurrence of P. chalcographus has never been recorded in the spruce forest of Elatia-Drama, Northern Greece, which is the southernmost area of the natural, autochthonous distribution of P. abies. In this study we installed five pheromone traps baited with chalcogran dispensers in the forest of Elatia. The total number of bark beetles attracted to these traps exceeded several thousands of individuals. Norway spruce trees growing in the natural forest of Elatia demonstrate low vigor, something that can be attributed to the marginal environmental conditions in concert with the effects of climate change. The combination of these factors inhibits the regular growth of spruce, rendering trees more susceptible to the attack of P. chalcographus.

“…Populations in western North America produce an ipsdienol blend of mostly the (R)-( -) enantiomer (Birch et a!., 1980;Miller et al, 1989;Seybold et a!., 1995), whereas New York populations produce the enantiomers in equal proportions (Lanier et a!., 1980;Miller et a!., 1989;. Female response to enantiomeric blends varies accordingly (Birch et al, 1980;Mustaparta et a!.…”

“…In New York populations of Ips pini, males produce a pheromone composed of ipsdienol (2-methyl-6-methylene-2,7-octadien-4-ol) (Birch et a!., 1980;Lanier et a!., 1980) and lanierone (4,4,6-trimethyl-2-hydroxy-2,5-cyclohexadiene-12-one) in a ratio of 100:1 (ipsdienol:lanierone). The pheromone attracts conspecifics when it is released in the faecal pellets upon initiation of a nuptial gallery in a suitable host tree.…”

An understanding of the genetic coordination of signal and response in communication systems is an elusive quest in many organisms. Two hypotheses currently exist to explain the mechanism of coordination and its evolution: (1) signal-response systems are a result of pleiotropic effects of a gene or genes controlling the neural network underlying both or, (2) independent genes produce the signal and response and selection acts similarly on the traits.In this study, we tested the hypothesis that independently assorting genes control the production of, and response to, a sex pheromone in the pine engraver beetle, Ips pini. We measured the genetic correlation of production and response in sons from two situations: wild-caught pairs where there was some level of assortative mating and after five generations of forced 'no choice' mating. If production and response are a result of pleiotropy then there should be no breakdown in the genetic correlation of the two traits under the 'no choice' mating. Both pheromone production by males and the response to it by males and females are highly heritable. Male response appears to be genetically unlinked to pheromone production; therefore it is likely that the traits are not a result of pleiotropy. Instead, assortative mating may maintain the phenotypic correlation between the pheromone blend produced and the blend to which that individual responds.
