The regulation of post-mating decline of sex-pheromone in the gypsy moth, Lymantria dispar, was studied. An initial, transient suppression of pheromone production was found to be caused by the introduction of male genitalia into the bursa copulatrix, which results in mechanical pressure being transm

A mating duration of more than 6 h was necessary to permanently terminate the production of the sex pheromone (bombykol) in the silkworm moth, Bornbyx mori L. (Lepidoptera: Bombycidae), although the female formed a bursa copulatrix including a spermatophore and laid fertilized eggs even after mating

Biosynthesis of the sex pheromone components, (Z)-5-tetradecenyl acetate (Z5-14:OAc) and (Z)-7-tetradecenyl acetate (Z7-14:OAc), was investigated in the New Zealand tortricid moth Planotortrix excessana (Walker) by fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) analysis of base-methanolyzed extracts of lipids in th
