Chemical Ecology of Clytini (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae)
Abstract
dc:descriptionIn chapter six, I characterize the contact sex pheromone of N. a. acuminatus. Males recognize female conspecifics only after contacting them with their antennae. I characterize the behavior and demonstrate that three methylalkanes present in the wax layer of females are sufficient to elicit a mating response from males.
