- All numbers in one column add to 100%. Female sex pheromone refers to gland extracts. Tumlinson et al. (1986) also analyzed the volatile blend emitted from the glands and found 2.6% Z11-16:Ac, 90.1% Z9-14:Ac, 1.2% Z11-14:Ac, 1.9% 12:Ac, 2.2% Z9-12:Ac, 0.21% 16:Ac and 3.2% Z7-12:Ac. Note that the Z9-14:Al which was found in the gland extracts, was not found in the emitted volatiles. Compounds in bold are the compounds that we could identify in the gland extracts studied here; all of these were found in both strains. Letters behind these compounds are given the facilitate the reading. *Means of the relative amounts that we found in glands extracted from females in the scotophase. ** In FL the same 4-component blend as used by Fleischer et al. (2005) was tested and attracted similar amounts of males as the 2-component blend.1[23]; 2[24]; 3[25]; 4[29]; 5[28]; 6[27]; 7[26].
