The noctuid sibling taxaDiachrysia chrysitis s. str. andD. tutti, of yet uncertain taxonomic status, have previously been shown to possess differences in morphology and to be attracted to different mixtures of the two presumed pheromone components (Z)-5-decenyl acetate and (Z)-7-decenyl acetate. TypicalD. tutti males (clearly broken forewing marking) are known to respond to a 2: 100 mixture of the two isomers, whereasD. chrysitis males (unbroken marking) are attracted to a 100: 10 mixture.

Mating Communication Systems of Four Plusiinae Species Distributed in Japan: Identification of the Sex Pheromones and Field Evaluation
- BiologyJournal of Chemical Ecology

The sex pheromones of four Plusiinae species in the family Noctuidae, Ctenoplusia albostriata (CA), Macdunnoughia purissima (MP), Syngrapha ain (SA), and Diachrysia stenochrysis (DS) were identified by GC-EAD and GC-MS analyses and a classification is proposed.

Field tests with synthetic lures showed synergistic effects of some other minor components and male attraction of three additional Plusiinae species, Macdunnoughia purissima, Ctenoplusia albostriata, and Chrysodeixis eriosoma, suggesting their reproductive isolation is based in part on pheromonal communication.

Comparative Study of Pheromone Production and Response in Swedish and Zimbabwean Populations of Turnip Moth, Agrotis segetum
- BiologyJournal of Chemical Ecology

Analysis of female sex pheromone gland extracts of the turnip moth (or common cutworm), Agrotis segetum, from Zimbabwe revealed three compounds previously identified as sex phersomone components in the Swedish population, namely (Z)-5-decenyl acetate, (Z5–10:OAc) and (Z-7-dodecenylacetate, which is found in the Zimbabwean female gland extracts.

The identification and biosynthetic pathways of several novel esters from the wings of male B. martius sanaos were reported, and it was found that the volatile compounds in this male butterfly were similar to female-produced moth sex pheromones.

Biosynthetic Pathway for Sex Pheromone Components Produced in a Plusiinae Moth, Plusia festucae
- ChemistryFront. Endocrin.

GC–MS analysis of methyl esters derived from fatty acids included in the pheromone gland of P. festucae suggested that Z5-12:OAc was biosynthesized by ω7-desaturase with low substrate specificity, which could introduce a double bond at the 9-position of a 16:Acid derivative and the 11- position of an 18: Acid derivative.

It is suggested that the ancestral ermine moth pheromone is a mixture of (Z)-11- and (E-11-tetradecenyl acetate and the corresponding alcohols, and a scenario of how present-day patterns evolved is outlined.

Sex attractants for the sibling taxa Diachrysia chrysitis (L.) s.str. and D. tutti (Kost.) were field tested on 9 sites in Hungary. Catches with the two already described attractant blends,…
Are Diachrysia chrysitis (L.) and D. tutti (Kostrowicki) different species? (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)

Allozyme electrophoresis and wing pattern analysis suggest that D. tutti is a separate species occurring sympatrically with D. chrysitis in the study area, but whether the great similarity between the samples was due to gene flow between species or specimens being trapped by the other species' sex-attractant is still an open question.
Sex pheromone of the european corn borer,Ostrinia nubilalis (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae), in New York
- ChemistryJournal of Chemical Ecology

Two pheromone components of the European corn borer, Ostrinia nubilalis (Hübner), from New York are identified and this isomeric blend extracted from the female abdominal tips is very similar to the most attractive synthetic mixture in the field in New York.

Heterogeneity of male response was greatest in regions where the 2 pheromonal types of European corn borers occurred sympatrically and populations at several locations were either attracted preferentially to 3:97 Z:E or showed heterogenity in response.

Genetic regulation of sex pheromone production and response
- BiologyJournal of Chemical Ecology
- 2005
Progeny tests with males captured in the traps provided circumstantial evidence that pheromone response and production functions in the species are regulated by separate genetic loci and that the loci are not always complementary; i.e., a male can carry an allele coding for production of one pheromonal isomer ratio but can be genetically predisposed to respond to another.
Sex pheromone biosynthesis of (E,E)-8,10-dodecadienol in codling mothCydia pomonella involvesE9 desaturation
- ChemistryJournal of Chemical Ecology

(E,E)-8,10-dodecadienol is synthesized by chain shortening (β-oxidation) of palmitic acid to dodecanoic acid, followed by an unusualE9 desaturation and subsequent conversion of this intermediate into the conjugated precursor, which is finally reduced to the pheromone alcohol.

Sex pheromone biosynthesis in the red-banded leafroller moth, studied by mass-labeling with stable isotopes and analysis with mass spectrometry
- Chemistry, BiologyJournal of Chemical Ecology
- 2005
A technique for mass-labeling was developed to study sex pheromone biosynthesis in the red-banded leafroller moth, Argyrotaenia velutinana, and results support an interpretation in which hexadecanoate is chain shortened to tetradecanoates, which is desaturated to produce (E)- and (Z)-11-tetradecenoate precursors for the sex phersomone components.
