已鉴定出寄生膜翅目中第一个雄性产生的性引诱信息素。指状蜜蜂花是一种寄生在独居蜜蜂和黄蜂的最后幼虫期或蛹期的独特生物，它复杂的求爱行为涉及腿部、翅膀和触角的一系列协调运动，这是在雌性被盲目的、不会飞的雄性吸引后开始的。我们鉴定出α-反式佛手柑和β-反式佛手柑是雄性指状佛手柑性引诱剂的活性化合物。还描述了雄性释放的性信息素和衰老过程中信息素负荷的变化。
The first male-produced sex attractant pheromone in the parasitic Hymenoptera has been identified. The elaborate courtship behavior of Melittobia digitata, an idiobiont that parasitizes the last larval instar or the pupal stage of solitary bees and wasps, involves a series of coordinated movements of legs, wings, and antennae, initiated after the female is attracted to the blind, flightless male. We identified alpha- and beta-trans-bergamotene as the active compounds of the male M. digitata sex attractant. Variation in the release of the sex pheromone by males and the pheromone load during aging is also described.
