Abstract

Male Lasioglossum (Dialictus) zephyrum in the field are attracted to models impregnated with the odor of virgin females. The number of males responding increases with increasing odor concentration. Once a male has contacted a model, its attractiveness to other males is reduced, suggesting that the male may contribute an antiaphrodisiac cue so that other males avoid mated females.

摘要

田野中的雄性西风细舌蜂（Dialictus属）会被涂抹有未交配雌蜂气味的模型所吸引。做出反应的雄蜂数量会随着气味浓度的增加而增多。一旦一只雄蜂接触过某个模型，该模型对其他雄蜂的吸引力就会降低，这表明雄蜂可能会释放一种抗发情信息素，以便其他雄蜂避开已交配的雌蜂。
