Irresistible: Amino acid derivatives are very rarely used as pheromones by arthropods. The widow spider Latrodectus hasselti (see picture) uses a unique compound (see formula) to lure its males. The molecular configuration plays an important role in this unique chemical communication system.
Unwiderstehlich: Aminosäurederivate werden sehr selten von Arthropoden als Pheromone genutzt. Die zu den Witwen gehörende Spinne Latrodectus hasselti (siehe Bild) nutzt eine einzigartige Verbindung (siehe Strukturformel), um ihre Männchen anzulocken. Die Molekülkonfiguration spielt eine wichtige Rolle beim chemischen Kommunikationssystem dieser Spinne.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
