✦ Synopsis

A sex pheromone of the marine polychaete Platynereis dumerilii is chemically characterized as 5-methyl-3-heptanone. There exist two optical isomers, the s( + )-isomer produced by males and acting on females, the R(-)-isomer produced by females and acting on males. The basic structure shows a close relationship to insect pheromones and is of interest with regard to the evolution of pheromones.

## Abstract A sex pheromone from __Platynereis dumerilii__ females was extracted from the coelomic fluid of ripe heteronereids by a closed loop stripping technique. It was identified by coupled gas chromatography and mass spectroscopy and synthesis as 3,5‐octadien‐2‐one. In an electrophysiological

Pheromone production in most moths is regulated by pheromone biosynthesis activating neuropeptides (PBAN) produced in the subesophageal ganglion. This paper will review the current concepts related to how PBAN stimulates the pheromone biosynthetic pathway at the level of the pheromone gland cell. Da

Rana rugosa in Japan is divided into four geographical races on the basis of the karyotype of the sex chromosomes: one in which heteromorphic sex chromosomes occur in the female sex (ZW/ZZ-system), another in which they are present in males (XX/XY-system), and the remaining two in which no heteromor
