“…Our previous study on the silk-bound pheromone of the spider P. beijingensis showed that the female sex pheromone components, (E,E)-farnesyl acetate and hexadecyl acetate, are found not only in some invertebrate species such as insects but also in mammals such as voles (Xiao et al 2009). The spider pheromone 8-methyl-2-nonanone, isolated from the orb-web spider A. aperta , resembles a known pheromone component of the caddisfly, Hesperophylax occidentalis (Bjostad et al 1996) and of the Asia palm weevil, Rhynchophorus ferrugineus (Hallett et al 1993). The contact sex pheromone of Tegenaria atrica consists of a complex mixture of methyl esters and their fatty acids, which are semiochemicals of several insects such as the mosquito (Aedes aegypti ) and the honeybee (Breed 1998;Ganesan et al 2006).…”

Chemical signals play an important role in spider sexual communication, yet the chemistry of spider sex pheromones remains poorly understood. Chemical identification of male-produced pheromonemediating sexual behaviour in spiders has also, to our knowledge, not been reported before. This study aimed to examine whether chemically mediated strategies are used by males of the spider Pholcus beijingensis for increasing the probability of copulation. Based on data from gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis, electroantennography assay and a series of behavioural tests, we verified that (Z)-9-tricosene is a male-specific compound in the spider P. beijingensis. This compound acts as an aphrodisiac: it increases the likelihood that a female will mate. Mate-searching males release (Z )-9-tricosene to stimulate sexual behaviour of conspecific females. In the two-choice assay, however, sexually receptive females show no preference to the chambers containing (Z )-9-tricosene. This indicates that the male pheromone of P. beijingensis is not an attractant per se to the conspecific females. This is, to our knowledge, the first identification of a male-produced aphrodisiac pheromone in spiders.

“…The analyses showed that two malespecific compounds were produced by R. vulneratus in Sumatra, and they were conclusively identified as the two previously reported aggregation pheromone components obtained for R. vulneratus from Java (Hallett et al 1993) (fig. 3B).…”

“…Hallet et al (1993) identified two aggregation pheromone components, 4-methyl-5-nonanone (ferrugineone) and 4-methyl-5-nonanol (ferrugineol), produced by male R. vulneratus (they incorrectly assumed that they were working with R. ferrugineus) collected in Java, Indonesia. To verify the chemical identify of the aggregation pheromone of R. vulneratus as reported by Hallett et al (1993), male and female weevils were field collected by authors Mark and Christina Hoddle in Sumatra, Indonesia, and used for pheromone collection.…”

“…Furthermore the images were shown to disperse quite well, as mark-release-recapture studies revealed that these insects can move about 7 km in less than week (Abbas et al, 2006). While dispersing they seem to be attracted by 'ferrugineol' (4-methyl-5-nonanol), an aggregation pheromone that especially has an effect on females, which are twice as attracted as males (Hallett et al, 1993;Faleiro, 2009). The attractive effect of ferrugineol acts synergistically with host palm specific kairomones, typically early fermentation associated volatiles like ethyl esters and ethanol (Giblin-Davis et al, 1996).…”

“…Pheromone: It was the discovery in 1993 (Hallett et al, 1993) of the aggregation pheromone produced by male 4-methyl-5-nonanol (ferrugineol), which allowed the development of trapping methods olfactory. Today pheromones are increasingly used in the fight against the red palm weevil.…”

A B S T R A C TThe red palm weevil (Rhynchophorus ferrugineus) is a bug local tropical areas of Southeast Asia are a vital nuisance of coconut (Cocos nucifera L.). Trade is the fundamental driver of its worldwide spread development in the Mediterranean locale and the close East. In its local reach Rhyncophorus ferrugineus postures financial issues in the loss of coconut harvest stays controlled commonly. However it extremely well adapted to the new environment development by tending to new species, for example, the date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.) creating genuine monetary issues. Eventually, it changes the tourist's scenes in Spain and France, tending to the Canary palm (Phoenix canariensis Chabaud) and consequently that the European Union for a long times an Action Plan against red palm weevil, considering observing the development and import of palm, mindfulness and plagued palms demolition arrangement. On the other hand, looking ahead in hopes of a fight developer effective means pushed through a study on the behaviour and biology of the weevil either in the wild or in its amplified territory.
