“…Baker & Cardt., 1979). Most investigators of moth courtship have focussed on species in which a male displays eversible scent-emitting structures (variously called brush organs, hairpencils, androconia, or coremata) in very close proximity to the female just prior to his making a copulatory attempt (Birch, 1970;Thibout, 1972;Grant & Brady, 1975;Gothilf & Shorey, 1976;Grant, 1976;Colwell et al, 1978;Baker & Cardt, 1979;Ellis & Brimacombe, 1980;Teal, McLaughlin & Tumlinson, 198 1 ;Conner et al, 198 1 ;Krasnoff, 198 1 ;Hendrikse, Van der Laan & Kerkhof, 1984;Hendrikse, 1986;Zagatti & Castel, 1987, see Birch & Hefetz, 1987, for review). The pheromones known or presumed to be released in this context have had a variety of effects attributed to them including inhibition of response to female pheromone in competing males (Hirai, Shorey & Gaston, 1978;Bijpost, Thomas & Kruijt, 1985, but see Fitzpatrick, McNeil & DuMont, 1988, inhibition of female pheromone release (Hendricks & Shavers, 1975), and stimulation of female pheromone release behaviour (Teal & Tumlinson, 1989).…”
