Can. Enr. 104: 1963-1965 (1972) The effects on the house fly, Musca dornestica (L.), of a series of cis-9 alkenes containing 19-25 carbon atoms were investigated. An unexpectedly wide spectrum of these homologous hydrocarbons showed biological activity. Synergism and interesting changes in behavioural responses (excitement, mating, and orientation) varying with structure and concentration were observed.
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.
