A nylon net cage (260 x 40 x 40 cm) provided with unidirectional air flow was used to demonstrate the response of female sandflies, Lutzomyia longipalpis Lutz & Neiva (Diptera: Psychodidae) to a host and extract of male pheromone glands over a distance of 240 cm. Females responded more rapidly and in greater numbers to the host if male pheromone was present. Results suggest that one function of the pheromone may be to attract females from some distance to a common mating site, on or near the host.
一个配备单向气流的尼龙网笼（260×40×40厘米）被用于展示雌性白蛉，即长须罗蛉（双翅目：毛蠓科）在240厘米的距离上对宿主和雄性信息素腺提取物的反应。如果存在雄性信息素，雌性对白蛉的反应会更快且数量更多。结果表明，信息素的一个功能可能是将雌性从一定距离吸引到宿主上或宿主附近的共同交配地点。
