Methyl tetradecanoate

ND2 selective binding from a mixture with methyl tetradecanoate Extraction/GC Danty et at. (1999)... [Pg.489]

Quantitative changes in lipid compounds on the silk and cuticle of females correlate significantly with changes in female sexual receptivity in spiders. For example, female T. atrica attach a contact sex pheromone to their web (Trabalon et al., 1997,2005 Prouvost et al., 1999). This pheromone consists of a complex mixture of saturated hydrocarbons, methyl esters (methyl tetradecanoate, methyl pentadecanoate, methyl hexadecanoate, and methyl octadecanoate) and their fatty acids (tetradecanoic, pentadecanoic, hexadecanoic, and cis,cis-9,12-octadecadienoic acids). The female uses cuticular compounds, which are applied to the silk in substantial amounts during web construction. Modification of chemical profiles makes the female attractive to males (Trabalon et al., 2005). Receptive females are different to unreceptive ones with respect to three fatty acids (hexadecanoic, octadeca-dienoic and octadecenoic acids) and three methyl esters (linoleate, oleate, and stearate) present on both the web and the cuticle. Our combined results from chemical analyses and behavioral assays demonstrate clearly that these contact compounds are quantitatively correlated with the behavior of spiders. [Pg.353]
