“…In moth species, geographic variation may arise as a result of avoiding inbreeding with closely related sympatric species that share key pheromone components (McElfresh and Millar, 1999;Groot et al, 2008;Sadek et al, 2012). Variation can also be manifested in the timing of sexual behaviours or be a consequence of physiological, biotic, and abiotic factors such as age (Swier et al, 1977;Noldus and Potting, 1990;Xavier et al, 2018), nutrition (Casimero et al, 2001), temperature (Conner et al, 1985;Delisle and McNeil, 1987), relative humidity (Webster and Carde, 1982;Royer and McNeil, 1991), photoperiod (Delisle and McNeil, 1986;Noldus and Potting, 1990;Kamimura and Tatsuki, 1994), host plants (Landolt and Phillips, 1997), wind speed (Conner et al, 1985), and insecticides (Shen et al, 2013;Navarro-Roldań and Gemeno, 2017). Therefore, it is essential to understand the local sex pheromone blends and local timings of sexual communication for effective field implementation of sex pheromone-dependent control tools (Gao et al, 2020).…”
