Females produce the sex pheromone (+)-(7R,8S)-epoxy-2-methyloctadecane, known as (+)-disparlure [(+)D], for long-distance attraction of conspecific males. A (+)D analogue, 2-decyl-1-oxaspiro[2.2]pentane (OXP-01), neither stimulating nor attractive by itself, causes short-time inhibition of male response in a 1:1 blend with (+)D. The authors investigated whether and how the biological activity of the natural pheromone is affected by OXP-01 on a long-time basis (up to 16 days), also by looking at possible physicochemical reciprocal interactions.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;RESULTS: Blending of (+)D with OXP-01 decreased, under low evaporation rate, the pheromone effectiveness, as assessed by electroantennogram recordings. In male trappings, within the first 24 h, OXP-01 decreased and later enhanced the blend attractiveness, but only under high evaporation rate. Gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy indicates that quantitative retrieval of (+)D from blend cartridges is higher than for pure pheromone, and nuclear magnetic resonance measurements show that OXP-01 produces, possibly by Van der Waals interactions, a bimolecular entity with pheromone causing retention and lengthening of its attractiveness over time.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;CONCLUSION: The biological and physicochemical interactions between (+)D and OXP-01 may provide valuable information for the optimisation of pheromone-based control strategies for gypsy moths.</style></abstract><accession-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">23868283</style></accession-num></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Fürstenau, Benjamin</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rosell, Gloria</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Guerrero, Angel</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Quero, Carmen</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Electrophysiological and behavioral responses of the black-banded oak borer, Coroebus florentinus, to conspecific and host-plant volatiles.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Journal of chemical ecology</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Aggregation behavior</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Black-banded oak borer</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Buprestidae</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Coleoptera</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cork pest</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Coroebus florentinus</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Electrophysiology</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Green leaf volatiles</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kairomone</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Quercus suber</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Semiochemicals</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Y-tube olfactometer</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2012</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2012///</style></date></pub-dates></dates><urls><web-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22477026</style></url></web-urls></urls><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">38</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">378 - 388</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Aspects of the chemical ecology of the black-banded oak borer, (BBOB) Coroebus florentinus (Coleoptera: Buprestidae), were studied. Odors produced by males and females were similar, both qualitatively and quantitatively. Nonanal, decanal, and geranylacetone, identified in the headspace of both sexes, elicited strong electroantennographic responses from male antennae, but not from female antennae. In dual-choice olfactometer experiments, a blend of these three compounds was attractive to both sexes; males responded to decanal alone, while females responded to geranylacetone alone, suggesting that these compounds are responsible for activity of the blend to the respective sexes. Antennae of both sexes responded electroantennographically to the green leaf volatiles (E)-2-hexenal, (E)-2-hexenol, 1-hexanol, (Z)-3-hexenyl acetate, and n-hexyl acetate, all identified from the host plant Quercus suber. In behavioral experiments, only females were attracted to host-plant odors, and in tests with synthetic compounds, females were attracted to (E)-2-hexenol, 1-hexanol, and (Z)-3-hexenyl acetate. It is likely that these compounds play a role in foraging and/or oviposition behavior of BBOB females.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4</style></issue><notes><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">The following values have no corresponding Zotero field:&lt;br/&gt;accession-num: 22477026</style></notes></record></records></xml>
