Females produce the sex pheromone (+)-(7R,8S)-epoxy-2-methyloctadecane, known as (+)-disparlure [(+)D], for long-distance attraction of conspecific males. A (+)D analogue, 2-decyl-1-oxaspiro[2.2]pentane (OXP-01), neither stimulating nor attractive by itself, causes short-time inhibition of male response in a 1:1 blend with (+)D. The authors investigated whether and how the biological activity of the natural pheromone is affected by OXP-01 on a long-time basis (up to 16 days), also by looking at possible physicochemical reciprocal interactions.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;RESULTS: Blending of (+)D with OXP-01 decreased, under low evaporation rate, the pheromone effectiveness, as assessed by electroantennogram recordings. In male trappings, within the first 24 h, OXP-01 decreased and later enhanced the blend attractiveness, but only under high evaporation rate. Gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy indicates that quantitative retrieval of (+)D from blend cartridges is higher than for pure pheromone, and nuclear magnetic resonance measurements show that OXP-01 produces, possibly by Van der Waals interactions, a bimolecular entity with pheromone causing retention and lengthening of its attractiveness over time.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;CONCLUSION: The biological and physicochemical interactions between (+)D and OXP-01 may provide valuable information for the optimisation of pheromone-based control strategies for gypsy moths.</style></abstract><accession-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">23868283</style></accession-num></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Ghaioule, Driss</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Lumaret, Jean-Pierre</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Rochat, Didier</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Maatouf, Noureddine</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Niogret, Jerome</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Estimation of white grub damage (Coleoptera : Scarabaeoidea) in cork oak (Quercus suber L.) regeneration parcels of the Mamora forest (Morocco) and search for biological control using sex pheromones.</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">ANNALES DE LA SOCIETE ENTOMOLOGIQUE DE FRANCE</style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1-3-benzenediol</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">biological control</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Cork oak</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">damage</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Morocco</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">pheromone</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">resorcinol</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Restoration</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Scarabaeoidea</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">white grubs</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2007</style></year></dates><publisher><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">SOC ENTOMOLOGIQUE FRANCE</style></publisher><pub-location><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">45 RUE BUFFON, 75005 PARIS, FRANCE</style></pub-location><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">43</style></volume><pages><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1-8</style></pages><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">During the last decades, the cork oak restoration in the Mamora forest (Morocco) was faced with massive root attacks of seedling plantations by white grubs (Coleoptera: Scarabaeoidea).
