The compounds (R)-3-hydroxybutyric acid and its dimer, (R)-3-[(R)-3-hydroxybutyryloxy]-butyric acid, have been identified as sex pheromones of a spider. These compounds elicit web reduction behavior by males of Linyphia triangularis (Clerck) on the webs of unmated adult females.
(R)-3-羟基丁酸及其二聚体 (R)-3-[(R)-3-羟基丁酰氧基]-丁酸已被鉴定为一种蜘蛛的性信息素。这些化合物可诱发三角形狼蛛(Clerck)雄蛛在未交配成年雌蛛的蛛网上产生织网减少行为。
