Tegenaria pagana S Male orientation towards female silk Roland, 1984... [Pg.116]

Similar investigations with the related species Tegenaria pagana and Tegenaria domestica (Trabalon et al., 1997) determined that males of both species reacted to attractive females with longer contact times compared with that for unattractive or solvent-washed females. The response was species specific, and when pentane extracts were partitioned between pentane and methanol, most of the activity was found in the methanol fraction. The methanol fractions contained fatty acids and their methyl esters and showed quantitative differences between the two physiological states of the females with respect to myristic acid, methyl palmitate,...
