ABSTRACT:
A male-produced aggregation pheromone was demonstrated in Carpophilus hemipterus (L.) (Coleoptera: Nitidulidae) using a wind-tunnel bioassay. The attractiveness of the pheromone is greatly enhanced by volatiles from a host plant, and combinations of pheromone and food volatiles typically attract 3-10 times more beetles than either source by itself. The pheromone consists of a series of 13-, 14-, and 15-carbon unsaturated hydrocarbons, the most abundant of which is 3,5,7-trimethyl-(E,E,E,E)-2,4,6,8-decatetraene.
