The olfactory responses of red flour beetles,Tribolium castaneum (Herbst), to methyl and ethyl ester of C14-C18 fatty acid prepared from tallow were studied. Methyl octadecanoate and ethyl octadecanoate discouraged aggregation of beetle adults. Ethyl 9.12-octadecadienoate acted as a repellent. Methyl pentadecanoate and ethyl tetradecanoate induced copulation at the level of 5 × 10(2) and 2 × 10(3) μg, respectively. The maximum response was observed at the level of 5 × 10(2) μg of the same compounds, and these compounds appear to stimulate males only.
研究了从牛脂中制备的 C14-C18 脂肪酸的甲酯和乙酯对赤拟谷盗（Tribolium castaneum（ Herbst））的嗅觉反应。十八烷酸甲酯和十八烷酸乙酯阻止了成虫的聚集。9,12-十八碳二烯酸乙酯具有驱避作用。十五烷酸甲酯和十四烷酸乙酯分别在 5×10（2）和 2×10（3）μg 的水平诱导交配。在 5×10（2）μg 的相同化合物水平观察到最大反应，这些化合物似乎仅刺激雄性。
