Description for Pheromone Communication in Moths: Evolution, Behavior, and Application
Hardback. Common among moths is a mate-finding system in which females emit a pheromone, which induces males to fly upwind along the pheromone plume. This title is suitable for entomologists, chemical ecologists, and pest management scientists, as well as for those studying pheromone communication and pest management. Editor(s): Allison, Jeremy D.; Carde, Ring T. Num Pages: 391 pages, 60 color images, 40 b/w illustrations, 20 tables. BIC Classification: PSV; PSVT7; RNC. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 280 x 216. .
Common among moths is a mate-finding system in which females emit a pheromone that induces males to fly upwind along the pheromone plume. Since the chemical pheromone of the domesticated silk moth was identified in 1959, a steady increase in the number of moth species whose pheromone attractants have been identified now results in a rich base for review and synthesis. Pheromone Communication in Moths summarizes moth pheromone biology, covering the chemical structures used by the various lineages, signal production and perception, the genetic control of moth pheromone traits, interactions of pheromones with host plant volatiles, pheromone dispersal and orientation, ...
