Two tortricid mitoth species, Adoxophyes orana and Clepsis spectrana, utilize the samne two isomers, cis-9- and cis-l1-tetradecenyl acetate, as their sex attractant. Commnlunication between the sexes of each species is separated effectively by a different blendinig of both compounds by the females and a different response to these blends by the males.
两种卷蛾科线尾蛾属物种,梨小食心虫和桑褶翅尺蛾,利用相同的两种异构体,顺-9-和顺-11-十四碳烯乙酸酯,作为它们的性引诱剂。通过雌虫混合使用这两种化合物的不同比例,以及雄虫对这些混合物的不同反应,有效地分隔了每个物种雌雄之间的通讯。
