In order to identify its sex pheromone we investigated gland extracts of females from populations in southern Germany. GC/MS analyses revealed two distinct types of gland compositions that correspond to slight but consistent morphological differences in the respective beetles. Extracts of one type contain four compounds, geranyl hexanoate (similar to 40 %), (Z,E)-farnesyl hexanoate (similar to 10 %), (E,E)-farnesyl hexanoate (similar to 40 %), and (E,E)-farnesyl octanoate (similar to 10 %), and this type belongs to the authentic I. picipennis (Bach 1852). Extracts of a second type contain neryl hexanoate (similar to 10 %) and neryl octanoate (similar to 90 %), and this type belongs to an Idolus species that apparently has been overlooked to date, presumably due to similarity with the authentic I. picipennis and insufficient material in collections. Synthetic blends of the identified compounds in their naturally-occurring ratios, as well as the main compounds alone, proved to be highly attractive to swarming males of the respective species in the field. A strong species-specific attraction also was observed in a locality where both species co-occur, thus confirming effective reproductive isolation. This study shows the potential of sex pheromones for monitoring rare and threatened insects as well as for detecting hitherto unknown cryptic species."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1007/s10886-013-0360-6"],["dc.identifier.isi","000328202100010"],["dc.identifier.pmid","24197916"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/28086"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.publisher","Springer"],["dc.relation.issn","1573-1561"],["dc.relation.issn","0098-0331"],["dc.title","Identification of the Sex Pheromone of Idolus picipennis (Bach, 1852) Revealed the Presence of a Cryptic Sibling Species"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.status","published"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

Certain compounds dominate in most of the fungal species. Fungal oxylipins as the eight-carbon volatiles are the most prominent. This raises the question whether such are specific enough to qualify as appropriate host cues for a fungivore. We could demonstrate differentiated responses of the fungivorous beetle Bolitophagus reticulatus to eight-carbon volatiles: Nine eight-carbon volatiles were identified with GC-MS from its host fungus Fomes fomentarius. 1-Octen-3-ol, 3-octanone and 3-octanol induced contrasting behaviour of beetles in olfactometer bioassays. Electroantennographic experiments investigating the beetle olfactory sense revealed distinguishable antennal responses. Moreover, their individual release from F. fomentarius fruiting bodies changes not only considerably, but also independently over successive stages of beetle colonisation. Concentrations of attractive and repellent eight-carbon volatiles correlate to frequency of beetles in the field and further substantiate their relevance as host cues. Our results show that a specialist fungivore is able to differentiate the most common eight-carbon volatiles of fungi to assess host quality. Key roles and marked similarities of fungal to plant oxylipins suggest a comparable importance of eight-carbon volatiles to fungivores as green leaf volatiles have to herbivores."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1007/s00049-014-0151-8"],["dc.identifier.isi","000332758600003"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/33907"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.publisher","Springer"],["dc.publisher.place","Basel"],["dc.relation.issn","1423-0445"],["dc.relation.issn","0937-7409"],["dc.title","Ubiquitous eight-carbon volatiles of fungi are infochemicals for a specialist fungivore"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.status","published"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]
