Sex Pheromone of the American Warble Fly, Dermatobia hominis: The Role of Cuticular Hydrocarbons

Chemical communication between adults of the American warble fly, Dermatobia hominis (Diptera: Oestridae), was investigated by electroantennography and behavioral bioassays. Significant electroantennographic responses were recorded from both sexes to hexane-soluble cuticular lipids from either sex....
