The within-population variations in pheromone blend were as great as those observed between geographic populations, suggesting that the female sex pheromone blend was not the basis of reproductive isolation between the geographic clades. Furthermore, while data from wind tunnel experiments demonstrated that most of the tested males were sensitive to small variations in pheromone mixture, there was considerable within-population variability in the observed response. The study identified a new pheromone component, (Z)-11-hexadecen-1-yl acetate, which when added to the currently used three-component synthetic blend resulted in significantly higher traps catches. The new recommended blend for monitoring flight phenology and for timing control measures for optimal efficacy of B. fusca is (Z)-11-tetradecen-1-yl acetate (62%), (E)-11-tetradecen-1-yl acetate (15%), (Z)-9-tetradecen-1-yl acetate (13%), and (Z)-11-hexadecen-1-yl acetate (10%). specialized Lepidoptera Noctuidae SPME GC-MS Synthetic pheromone Wind tunnel Field trapping Reproductive isolation Clade 076 080 35 5 618-623 2009 0098-0331 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010046158 10.1007/s10886-009-9638-0 0098-0331 [F B010046158] https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010046158 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/intranet/publi/2009/06/010046158.pdf Accès réservé (Intranet de l'IRD) IRD - Base Horizon / Pleins textes 2009-07-08 2017-08-23 fdi:010046158 fre
