摘要: In the field, both sexes of western pine beetle, Dendroctonus brevicomis, are attracted by female-produced bicyclic ketal exo-brevicomin; this response is enhanced myrcene (a constituent beetle's host, ponderosapine), which not an attractant itself. This synergism may be part phenomenon mass attack on its host. Temnochila virescens chlorodia, one principal insectan predators exo-brevicomin alone.
