2-Methyl-1,4-benzoquinone (toluquinone) and 2-methoxy-3-methyl-1,4-benzoquinone are the most common components of defensive secretions of juliform millipedes (Diplopoda: Juliformia). A natural and a synthetic millipede-defensive secretion composed of these two substances attract dung beetles of a few Onthophagus species (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) that feed mainly on freshly dead millipedes. This olfactory mechanism and adaptation to the toxic effects of quinones enables them to be the first and exclusive users of this resource.
2-甲基-1,4-苯醌（甲苯醌）和2-甲氧基-3-甲基-1,4-苯醌是朱形马陆（倍足纲：朱形亚纲）防御性分泌物中最常见的成分。由这两种物质组成的天然和合成马陆防御性分泌物吸引了一些主要以刚死亡的马陆为食的嗡蜣螂属物种（鞘翅目：金龟科）的蜣螂。这种嗅觉机制以及对醌类毒性作用的适应性使它们能够成为这种资源的首批也是唯一使用者。
