在摄食果蝇习性后，亚洲壁虎对甲基丁香酚(ME)的摄取量明显低于缺乏甲基丁香酚的雄性果蝇。在只接触喂食ME的雄性果蝇一天后，壁虎在有喂食ME的雄性果蝇在场时，会避免捕食雌性果蝇。当受到机械干扰时，喂食ME的雄性会自发地射出含有苯丙醇的直肠分泌物，以阻止捕食者。
After being acclimatized to feeding on fruit flies, the Asian house gecko, Hemidactylus frenatus Duméril & Bibron (Gekkonidae:Squamata), consumed fewer methyl eugenol (ME) fed male fruit flies, Bactrocera papayae Drew & Hancock (Tephritidae: Diptera) than when offered ME‐deprived males. After one‐day exposure to only ME‐fed males, the geckos avoided feeding on female flies when in the presence of ME‐fed males. When mechanically disturbed, the ME‐fed males spontaneously ejaculated a rectal secretion which contains phenyl propanoids that deter the predator.
