“…Pheromone communication has been studied in only one of the newly described East Asian species, N. dailingensis Xiao et Zhou. Both the acetate and the propionate of SSS-diprionol were attractive and the addition of 10% of the SRR-isomer had no significant antagonistic effect (Anderbrant et al, 1997). In eastern North America males of at least six or seven other Neodiprion species are attracted to the acetate and/or propionate of SSS-diprionol (for a summary, see Anderbrant, 1999).…”

The European pine sawfly, Neodiprion sertifer (Geoffroy) (Hymenoptera: Diprionidae), is a widespread and economically important forest insect. The sex pheromone communication system of this species has been previously investigated in North America, Japan and Europe, with the acetate or propionate of the alcohol (2S,3S,7S)‐3,7‐dimethyl‐2‐pentadecanol (diprionol) shown to be the main pheromone component. In some locations, male attraction either increased or decreased by the addition of the (2S,3R,7R)‐diprionyl acetate isomer. However, these studies were made with different batches of synthetic pheromones, with different types of traps and according to different procedures, so the observed differences might not reflect true geographic variation. Here we investigate the geographic pattern of male sawfly response by using identical chemicals, traps and experimental procedures at eight field sites ranging from Japan in the east to Canada in the west. We found an increased inhibitory effect of the (2S,3R,7R)‐isomer from Japan and Siberia to Europe. At the eastern sites, increasing amounts of the (2S,3R,7R)‐isomer up to and equal to the amount of the (2S,3S,7S )‐isomer, did not influence the trap catch, whereas at sites in Europe, as little as 1% of the (2S,3R,7R)‐isomer almost completely inhibited the attraction. The response of the North American population was intermediate. The only site in which the (2S,3R,7R)‐isomer was essential for the attraction of males was in Siberia. A similar pattern was found for the (2S,3R,7S)‐isomer. Both the acetate and the propionate form of the (2S,3S,7S)‐isomer were attractive by themselves in Japan, Europe and North America, and neither the (2S,3R,7S)‐isomer nor the (2S,3R,7R)‐isomer alone were attractive, in the acetate or propionate form. We discuss the significance of our findings for the development of more efficient monitoring schemes and for the causes of population divergence and speciation in the European pine sawfly.

“…The pheromone production pathway appears to be well conserved in the Diprionidae. In addition to known pheromones, field trials with different possible esterified isomers were attractive to several species of Diprionidae (Anderbrant et al, 1997;Guo-fa et al, 1997;Kikukawa et al, 1982;Kraemer et al, 1983Kraemer et al, , 1984Olaifa et al, 1984;Zhang et al, 2005). Although these structures have not been confirmed as pheromones, their activity in field trials and similarity to known pheromones of other species of Diprionidae suggest that they are pheromones.…”

1. The Symphyta is the most basal sub-order of the Hymenoptera and includes the woodwasps, horntails and sawflies, many of which are pests. Adults are generally short-lived and as a result males and females experience strong selection to rapidly find a mate and females to find oviposition sites. Mate-searching typically relies on visual and olfactory stimuli such as sexually dimorphic morphology (i.e., body parts used in signalling) and pheromones.2. Here we review the available literature on the chemical and visual ecology of the Symphyta with potential for use in survey and detection programmes. Stimuli reviewed include but are not limited to sex pheromones, larval defensive compounds, plant kairomones and colour preferences. 3. Sex pheromones are known for 19 species of Symphyta and show shared evolutionary patterns in chemistry, production site and ecological role.4. In general, sex pheromones in the Symphyta are female-produced, oxidized cuticular hydrocarbons and yellow traps capture more individuals than other colours, although exceptions do exist. More work is needed to expand on these and identify new patterns in the visual and chemical ecology of the Symphyta.

“…On the other hand, these two, and several other Neodiprion species, also are attracted to two or more compounds in which the acetate group of the main pheromone compound has been replaced with other acyl moieties (Anderbrant et al, 1992a(Anderbrant et al, , 1997Anderbrant, 1999). The most widespread diprionid species, N. sertifer, has a well characterized sex pheromone, with the acetate [(SSS) Ac] (Table 1) or propionate [(SSS)Pr] of (2S,3S,7S)-3,7-dimethyl-2-pentadecanol (diprionol) as the main component.…”

Field Response of Male Pine Sawflies, Neodiprion sertifer (Diprionidae), to Sex Pheromone Analogs in Japan and Sweden

The pine sawfly Neodiprion sertifer (Geoffroy) uses the acetate or propionate of (2S,3S,7S)-3,7-dimethyl-2-pentadecanol (diprionol) as pheromone components, with the (2S,3R,7R)-isomer being antagonistic, synergistic, or inactive according to the population tested. In this study, we tested the attraction of males to the acetates of three analogs of diprionol, each missing one methyl group, viz. (2S,7S)-7-methyl-2-pentadecanol, (2S,6S)-2,6-dimethyl-1-tetradecanol, and (2S,3S)-3-methyl-2-pentadecanol. None of the analogs alone, or in combination with diprionol acetate, was attractive in Sweden, even at 100 times the amount of diprionol acetate attractive to N. sertifer. In Japan, the acetate of (2S,3S)-3-methyl-2-pentadecanol attracted males when tested in amounts 10-20 times higher than the acetate pheromone component. The acetate esters of the (2S,3R)-analog and the (2S,3R,7R)-isomer of diprionol also were tested in combination with the pheromone compound (acetate ester). Both compounds caused an almost total trap-catch reduction in Sweden, whereas in Japan they appear to have relatively little effect on trap capture when added to diprionol acetate. Butyrate and iso-butyrate esters of diprionol were unattractive to N. sertifer in Sweden. In summary, there exists geographic variation in N. sertifer in responses to both diprionyl acetate and some of its analogs.
