“…β-springene, a diterpene, was originally isolated from a skin (dorsal) gland of the springbok antelope, Antidorcas marsupialis, from Africa (Burger et al, 1978(Burger et al, , 1981. It has been found in other mammals such as the white-lipped peccary, Tayassu pecari (Waterhouse et al, 2001), and collared peccary, Tayassu tajacu (Waterhouse et al, 1996); two reptilians, Cuvier's dwarf caiman, Paleosuchus palpebrosus, and the smooth-fronted caiman, Paleosuchus trigonatus (Schulz et al, 2003); four species of oribatid mites, Oribotritia banksi, O. berlesei, O. hermanni, and O. storkani (Raspotnig et al, 2011); five species of bumblebees, Bombus griseocollis (Bertsch et al, 2004), B. hypnorum (Cahlikova et al, 2004), B. morrisoni, B. rufocinctus (Bertsch et al, 2008), B. semenoviellus (Hovorka et al, 2006); and two stingless bees, Melipona beecheii (Cruz-López, et al, 2005) and Nannotrigona testaceicornis (Pianaro et al, 2009). β-springene was also found in the Dufour's gland of the ectoparasitoid Habrobracon hebetor (Say) where its abundance varied significantly with age (Howard et al, 2003).…”
